Olive - olea europaea - Genesis 8:11
When the waters of the Great Flood began to subside, Noah sent out a dove from the ark, which came back to him that evening holding an olive leaf in her beak. This is the first mention of this tree in the Bible, but there are many others highlighting its uses for cosmetics and cleansing, fuel for lamps, but above all Olive Oil was used for disinfecting, cleansing and healing wounds by the Good Samaritan.
