used in France for salads, anu is mentioned as a pot-herb by 
Gerarde, though now little regarded. The leaves are frequently 
used in soups, especially by the Dutch. Geoffroi relates, that 
he has found it from experience of remarkable service in dropsy. 
Haller, who is copious on the properties of chervil, has no 
opinion of it in dropsy; but thinks it may be of service in ob- 
structions of the bowels, in external haemorrhoides, &c. Chervil 
is not admitted in our practice, and has almost disappeared from 
our kitchens and tables. 
Var. B, trichospérma (Koch, in litt. ex D. C. prod. 4. p. 224.) 
stem weak, glabrous; leaves ternately decompound or triply

to this plant.
