| Abstract: | The medicinal plant Foeniculum vulgare (Miller) subspecies capillaceum (Galib.) Holmboe variety vulgare known more commonly as (bitter) fennel is widely distributed all around the Maltese islands. The plant produces fruit in late summer and these fruits are considered to be an official crude drug by the B.P. and U.S.P. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of the plant and its oil with regards to its botanical characteristics, its uses and its marketing around the world. The second part dealt with the physico-chemical properties of the oil distilled from the local plant collected from the wild as compared to that obtained from fennel grown abroad. |
