An annual species widely cultivated for the sake of its fruit, coriander, which becomes fragrant when dried, has the ordinary medicinal virtues of the aromatics, and is used to disguise the taste of other medicines, or to correct their griping qualities. The aromatic taste and odor depend on a volatile oil.
