In all these varieties the root is pale yellow, (fusiform, in scent and flavour 
resembling the garden Carrot. E.) Stem from two to two and a half feet 
high; the segments of the leaves pointed; the umbels at first flat, or 
gently convex, but when in seed concave as a tea cup. Involucrum 
composed of about thirteen leafits with deeply winged clefts ; Involucel- 
lum of eight or nine leafits, three of which are wing-cleft, the rest entire. 
The spokes of the umbel about forty, those of the umbellules about 
thirty. The seeds have four longitudinal deeply toothed ridges, like the 
comb of a cock, with three other imperfect ridges between them; the 
teeth flat, tapering to a point, but not prickly. (Leafits pinnatifid, with 
linear-lanceolate acute segments. Sm. Whole plant aromatic. E.) 
(From 5 odw, to heat; alluding to the warm, carminative quality of the seeds. E.)
