The leaves are lanceolate, green or dark green, glabrous on
both surfaces and are variable in shape and lobed. The flowers
are borne in small umbels, white or light pink, asymmetrical,
with the petals pointing away from the centre. The coriander
seed (Figure 1), is almost ovate globular dry schizocarp with two
mericarps [6], and multiple longitudinal ridges on the surface
possessing a sweet, slightly pungent, citrus like flavor with a
hint of sage [3].
