  Comments:
'(Japanese) perilla' is not particularly helpful, nor accurate, as they got it from China and it still grows as far out as burma

  Comments:
Reformat so proper “common name (scientific name)”, adding variety “crispa”.
Also qualify “perilla” with “(Japanese)”, since term is a bit ambiguous.
Could also link to 荏胡麻 (more common Korean variety), which would explain the other kind of perilla, though that may be overkill.
