Seseli campestre is a species of flowering herbaceous plant in the genus Seseli. It is a member of the carrot family, Apiaceae. It is native to Eastern Europe, portions of Southeastern Europe, Anatolia, and parts of Syria.
Description
The plant can grow to up 1 m (39 in), with grooved, glabrous stems with numerous branches, ranging in color from green to slightly purple.[2][3] The flowers form 7–10 radiating inflorescences ranging from 5–20 mm (0.2–0.8 in), with 10–14 umbels of white or lightly purple petals.[2] As with the Apiaceae family at large, the fruits are schizocarpic.[3][4] The fruits are ovoid, with ridges on the dorsal side, 2.8–3.2 mm (0.11–0.13 in) by 1.6–1.8 mm (0.06–0.07 in) in size, and turn light-brown as the seeds develop.[3]
Ecology
Seseli campestre is a perennial.[2] It is native in Romania, Bulgaria, Crimea, Ukraine, central and south European Russia, European and Anatolian Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, and North Caucasus.[5] It grows on black soils, steppes, and slopes, in chalky places, but rarely grows in fields.[3] In Turkey it grows on dry hillsides and between altitudes of sea level to 500 m (1,600 ft) in Northwest and South Anatolia.[2] It has been observed as a host for the fungus Puccinia libanotidis, moon carrot rust, though the fungus more commonly infects its namesake, Seseli libanotis, the moon carrot.[6]
Uses
Several essential oils can be extracted from S. campestre. One study identified 97 compounds in the fruit and 102 compounds from the aerial parts of the plant, and a second study identified 30 compounds from the aerial parts.[2][7] which α-pinene, β-pinene, and (E)-sesquilavandulol take up the largest proportions of the analyzed oils.[2][7] Of these, (E)-sesquilavandulol is uncommon among Seseli, being found principally in S. campestre and S. globiferum.[8] Investigations of the essential oils S. campestre, as with other members of Seseli, suggest significant antioxidant, as well as potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic, effects.[9][10]
