 Coriander
    Heb. gad, (Ex. 16:31; Num. 11:7), seed to which the manna is
    likened in its form and colour. It is the Coriandrum sativum of
    botanists, an umbelliferous annual plant with a round stalk,
    about two feet high. It is widely cultivated in Eastern
    countries and in the south of Europe for the sake of its seeds,
    which are in the form of a little ball of the size of a
    peppercorn. They are used medicinally and as a spice. The Greek
    name of this plant is korion or koriannon, whence the name
    "coriander."
