Maloderous (when burning) plants

Barry Garcia posted:

Try burning Salvia melifera. That stuff when burning gives off an odor
that somepeople despise. I know that it cause my dog to go into fits of
sneezing when i burned it for incense one day. ON a hot day however, a
hillside of these plants gives of such a strong odor. I had to go
collect seeds from these plants, and the smell gave me a headache.
(bugs LOVE to nest in the seed capsules)

I love to try burning s. melifera, but alas, my only specimen seems to
have been a casualty of the late December freeze. It was still in a
one-gallon container, in bold violation of my own No. 1 rule about
buying plants: Don't buy 'em, if you can't plant them IMMEDIATELY. I
bought it in June, but hadn't figured out what to do with it.
