Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) Week for ID : Eryginium foetidumUD 8 4 2011 002:
One photogrpah from a Local Herbal garden …. where the label says its the MADRASI CORIANDER… indicating its primary use and cultivation in the southern Indian sates… second shows the plant, it is ready to harvest as culinary herb…

In the green grocery stores in the southern states in USA its often labelled as CULANTRO (as opposed to CILANTRO as in Dhania patta). It has the same smell. Used in place of Dhania patta in India, the Caribbean and Thailand …
Medicinally it is anti- inflammatory and analgesic, Recent uses based on ethnomedicine reports from south American natives, are to kill strongyloides and trypanosomes…. And even as anticonvulsant.
Family: Apiaceae
Genus:                 Eryngium
Species:               E. foetidum
Binomial name   Eryngium foetidum  L.

The leaves are about an inch wide at the widest, and three to five inches long…. at about 6 – 8 weeks after seed sowing… I did not get to go back and see how the central stalk and flowers developed… may be next year..

yes
crushed leaf smells like dhania patta
in bengal I have heard it called its called madrassi dhone… or even vilayati/belati dhone.
foetida sounds like something we should not eat…!!!! language use is funny in this case
its a herb of some repute as a calming and anti inflammatory
even anti parasitic activities of its main constituent eryngial, though mostly ethnobotanical stories,
serious large scale studies have not been reported as far as i remember.
