Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Oenanthe (name refers to the vinous scent of the flowers). Umbelliferae. About 30 species of glabrous often aquatic perennial herbs, rarely transferred to grounds; some kinds are poisonous. They are widely distributed about the world in temperate regions: roots fibrous or tuberous: Lvs. 1-3-pinnate, much dissected, sometimes reduced to a hollow or fistular petiole: fls. white, small, in compound umbels, often polygamous and the outer ones usually sterile and rayed; calyx-teeth minute; petals 2-lobed or notched with an inflexed point. OE. fistulosa, Linn. Water Drop- Wort, native in Eu., W. Asia and N. Afr., is listed abroad: roots of many fleshy fibers, running deep: st. 2-3 ft. high, stoloniferous, very hollow and thick, little branched: radical Lvs. 2-pinnate, the lobed segms. cuneate; st.-lvs. reduced mostly to hollow stalks, bearing at the apex only a few linear-lobed segms.: umbels terminal, each with 3—5 rays. Adapted to wet places, for its ornamental and interesting character.
