Coriander (Coriandriim sativum, Linn.), "3. plant of little beauty and of easiest culture," is a hardy annual herb of the natural order Umbelliferae. The popular name is derived from the generic, which comes from the ancient Greek Koris, a kind of bug, in allusion to the disagreeable odor of the foliage and other green parts. The specific name refers to its cultivation in gardens. Hence the scientific name de- clares it to be the cultivated buggy-smelling plant. Coriander has been cultivated from such ancient times that its land of nativity is unknown, though it is said to be a native of southern Europe and of. Coriander, for Old-Fashioned Candies.
