          Coriandrum sativum L. <[>Umbelliferae<]>; Coriander.

 

Fruits of this plant are present in a number of samples. This 

species is very widely cultivated and frequent as an alien or 

escape from cultivation. Said to be wild in Palestine, Syria, 

Iraq and Greece (Herb. Kew.).

          The fruits are used as a spice, and they contain an ether-

eal oil (Watt; Drag.). Oil of Coriander is included in the 

British Pharmacopeia, 1932.
