turned to a bare tree by the gods for having hung herself for love of the absent Demophoon, became a tree

618. Coriandrum. From xo^i;, a bug, in allusion to the smell of the leaves of the plant. C. sativum has 
been long cultivated, chiefly in Essex, and is considered as naturalized. The leaves are strongly scented; the 
seeds, which are slightly aromatic, are used to cover the taste of senna, and in spices as currie powder, and 
seasoning for black puddings ; also, covered with sugar, as a sweetmeat ; formerly they were steeped in wine or 
vinegar, and then dried, to render them milder. 
Scandix. A name given by the Greeks to a plant used as an eatable, which appears to be that now called 
Scandix pecten. It is derived from trx.iu, to prick, on account of the sharp points of the seeds, 
620. Anthriscus. The name of a plant resembling Scandix, described by Pliny. A. vulgaris bears a near 
resemblance to the common chervil (Chserophyllum sativum), and being gathered as such, and put into soups, 
by the Dutch soldiers who were in England in 1745, some of them were poisoned by it. 
621. Chcsrophyllum. An ancient Greek name of the Chervil, derived from to rejoice, and t^vWov, leaf, 
that is to say a plant whose leaves have an agreeable smell. C. sylvestre has poisonous roots ; though the 
leaves are occasionally used as a pot-herb, and are much liked by cows. The stems and leaves dye a beautiful 
green, and the umbels a yellow : the plant in a wild state is found only on fertile soils. 
C. sativum is cultivated in gardens for the leaves, which are used in soups and salads. To have a succes. 
Clonal supply, sow in February and August in shallow drills from six to nine inches apart.
