Description

Watercolour illustration commissioned by William Roxburgh. ROX1388.
In his 'Flora Indica', Roxburgh describes this species as an annual, glacous and villous plant, he only found in a cultivated state. Roxburgh also notes: '...it is often raised in our Gardens in India as a substitute for parsley...' N.B.: Sealy explained that the name 'Apium involucratum' was omitted from the 1832 edition of 'Flora Indica' by some mistake. It should be inserted (Vol. 2, page 97 ;reprint p.273) above the line beginning: "Annual, glaucous villous…..".
Roxburgh, 'Flora Indica' (1832) v.2, p.97.
