The well famous Coriander essential oil is obtained from the Coriandrum sativum which is of Umbelliferae (Apiaceae) family and it is also commonly known by the names such as- coriander seed and Chinese parsley. This annual or biennial plant is actually a native of Morocco and it usually grows to about 1 meter in height. It carries sparse, fine, feathery leaves and pinkish-white colour flowers that are followed by the green colour seeds.
When these leaves crushed they give off an unpleasant smell just like the squashed bugs. Basically the Greek name ‘Koris’ (for bug) is actually the root word used for Coriander.
