The Bay or Laurel tree is a generally small, hardy evergreen tree or shrub with inconspicuous white flowers, small blackish berries and glossy aromatic leaves that are used for flavouring in cooking.

A number of reports have described allergic dermatitis resulting from contact with Bay leaf. Occupational asthma from inhalation of Bay leaf allergen may occur.
