• Finnochio or Sweet fennel (Fœniculum dulce of Bauhin) is a biennial plant, a native of Italy and Portugal. It differs from common fennel in its dwarfer stature, darker hue, and shorter duration.
• Finnochio is sometimes grown in this country. Its seed or fruit, and the essential oil distilled from it, find a place in our pharmacopœias, but are rarely used. Their warm stimulant properties lead to their employment in the flatulent colic of infants.
• On the earth underneath is grown a crop of finnochio, or asparagus, or berries.
• Francati had filled the cask with fresh water; he had also laid in a supply of finnochio and eggs, so that the dinner we had, after leaving Pæstum, was quite a swell affair.
• We are sure that, when Finnochio is better known in northern countries, it will be as much appreciated as Celery.
