Basil or thyme (4)
I believe the answer is:
herb
I believe this is a double definition.
'basil' is the first definition.
(basil is an example)
'thyme' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for herb that I've seen before include "man's name" , "Type of plant used in medicine" , "Aromatic plant used in cookery" , "Rosemary, for example" , "Medicinal or culinary plant" .)
