The annual or biennial plant is a native of Morocco and grows to about 1 meter in height. It has sparse,

The leaves, when crushed, give off an unpleasant odor like squashed bugs. The Greek name 'Koris' (for bug) is the
root word for Coriander.
The seeds have been used for thousands of years by the Egyptians, as an aphrodisiac (with seeds even found in the
tomb of Tutankhamun) and by the Romans and Greeks to flavor their wines, while the Indians use it in their cooking.
The Carmelite order in France used the seeds to flavor their 17th century toilet water. It is still used in Chartreuse and
Benedictine liqueurs.
