Nigella damascena (black caraway, black cumin) is an annual flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae. Its seeds are not only used for their flavour but also for their antioxidant properties. The Chelsea Physic Garden is one of the oldest botanical gardens in Britain. In 1673, it was established as the Apothecaries' Garden in London by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries to grow plants to be used as medicines. Its rock garden is the oldest in Europe devoted to alpine plants and Mediterranean plants. --- The garden is Grade I listed in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England by English Heritage.
