Southeast Asian, zone 9 perennial. Tastes remarkably like true cilantro (plus a lemony, spicy twist), albeit not closely related. Leaves are easily stripped from the stems. It can be eaten similarly to true cilantro as an actual raw substitute for cilantro; another favorite use is cooked, as a spicy herb. Loves water and tolerates damp or even boggy soils and tends to prefer part-shade.
