syn: Anethum graveolens subsp. sowa (Roxb. ex Fleming) N. F. Koren
Common names: Indian dill
Vernacular names: Shatapushpa, satahva, madhura
This popular culinary herb in India often used as vegetable in vegetative form, and dried seeds source of apiol used in medicine. has always confused me when I compare it with dill which has distinct large wings in fruit, a feature totally lacking in our sowa plant. Can any member throw light on this.

Here are exclusive photographs of Anethum sowa. The plant is often confused with Fennel, but is quite distinct in its sharper fragrans, darker colour of leaves, slender stems and leaves, smaller darker yellow flowers and smaller darker fruits. In the above set I had photographed two side by side. Here it is exclusive one.
