3.25 · Plants · Plants That Are Not Trees

cumin probably the plant Cuminum cyminum; same family as carrot; branches from the base and has similar leaves and flowers, though seeds have a sharper smell; planted and harvested each year, reaching a height of about 50–60 cm; seeds are used in cooking and as medicine In designating ‘cumin’ as well as ἄνηθον ‘dill,’ πήγανον ‘rue,’ and ἡδύοσμον ‘mint,’ it is probably wise to borrow a term and use a classifier, for example, ‘a seasoning herb called cumin.’
