NEP, OR CATMINT. The Leaves. This is a moderately aromatic plant, of a strong smell, not ill resembling a mixture of mint and pennyroyal; it is also recommended in hysteric cases. NIGELLA romana. FENNEL-FLOWER. The Seeds. They have a strong, not unpleasant smell; and a subacrid, somewhat unctuous disagreeable taste.
Fennel-flower, which belongs to the natural order Ranunculaceæ, or crowfoot family, is a candidate for admission to the seed sodality; costmary and southernwood of the Compositæ seek membership with the leaf faction; rue of the Rutaceæ and tansy of the Compositæ, in spite of suspension for their boldness and ill-breeding, occasionally force their way back into the domain of the leaf herbs.
