Description
Tiny white flowers with four narrow petals that emerge from one side of the centre; borne in compound umbels. An annual culinary herb with highly aromatic, finely cut bright green leaves.
For not of earth alone are delicate arts
And noble imitations, but in heaven
Have their rich prototypes.
