A small, delicate, annual herb about 50cm high with a slender stem, dark
green feathery leaves and small pink or white flowers followed by small
oblong seed. Essential oil extracted by steam distillation from the ripe

replaced by
caraway seed, which has a more
agreeable flavor, but it is still used to some extent in India, in
native medicine. Its principal employment is in veterinary medicine. It
is limpid and pale yellow in color, and is mainly a mixture of cymol or
cymene and cuminic aldehyde, or cyminol, which is its chief constituent.
The oil is produced mainly in India, Spain, and France.
