Basil (Harvest Moon)

Harvest Moon: Magical Melody
Taken from the Strategy Guide - This traveler came to Flower Bud Village to study plants of the area, although he has a liking for all the nature.

''Every year Basil leaves at the start of Winter and comes back for the beginning of Spring, as the plants in the village have gone away. ''

Basil can be seen in any location in Flower Bud Village, most noticeably the forest near the Harvest Goddess. The first gift he gives you is a Linestone, and the second gift he gives you is an Orange Balm, with the formula to create it yourself.
