Κατάγεται από την Ευρώπη. Ανήκει στην οικογένεια των Σκιαδοφόρων και στο γένος Φοινίκουλο.
Το ύψος του μπορεί να ξεπεράσει τα 3 m. Σχηματίζει ροζέτα από την οποία φύεται στέλεχος με κλαδιά σε σχήμα λοβού.
Έχει φύλλα με σαρκώδεις και διακλαδισμένους μίσχους (εδώδιμο), κίτρινα, λευκά ή πρασινωπά άνθη και καρπούς-σπόρους με χαρακτηριστικό άρωμα.
Τα φύλλα και οι βλαστοί τρώγονται ως λαχανικά, οι σπόροι χρησιμοποιούνται ως καρύκευμα και από τους καρπούς του εξάγεται έλαιο.
Οι κυριότερες παραγωγικές χώρες είναι η Γαλλία, οι Ην. Πολιτείες, η Ινδία και η Ρωσία.
