The Guaraní called the plant “ka’a he’ẽ”, sweet herb, and traditionally used its leaves to sweeten mate tea. It was scientifically described at the end of the 19th century; the species name honours the Paraguayan chemist Ovidio Rebaudi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaves taste remarkably sweet. Freshly picked or dried, a few leaves can be added to tea, lemonade or desserts – sparingly, as a little goes a long way.
