Concerning the 'foil' part, I always assumed it meant 'leaf'. One of the meanings of foil in the New Oxford dictionary is 'thin leaf of metal'. IMHO that makes more sense than looking for a connection with a sword... So the word 'foil'might be used to indicate a shiny leaf or a silver grey leaf, which makes my theory of Monarda go down the drain.<img src=smile.gif ALT="
