Epazote

Here is one that I had never heard of until doing an illustration of it, Epazote:
The SESE catalog says its fresh leaves are ground or crushed for seasoning corn, beans, and sauces used in Mexican dishes, and medicinally a strong tea made from this and rubbed on the skin repels insects and reduces irritation from insect bites.
