Hi Wayne,
According to Diana Kennedy, epazote is also known as Mexican tea or
wormseed.
Botanically it can be called Teloxys or Chenopodium ambrosioides.
I did notice this past spring/summer that epazote plants were sometimes
available at the local Home Despot.
Fortunately for me, I have a local Hispanic market that usually carries
fresh epazote ( the dried is worthless IMO ).
I hope that this was in some way helpful.
Jim
