Valerianella (diminutive of Valeriana). Valerianaceae. Annual dichotomously branched herbs, chiefly spring plants, sometimes planted in wild-garden or rock-garden; one is a salad plant.
Leaves, lower, in a radical rosette, entire; cauline entire, dentate or rarely incise-pinnatifid: cymes sometimes corymbosely paniculate fastigiate, sometimes densely globose at the ends of the branches: fls. whitish, pale bluish, or rose; corolla-tube short or rarely elongate, limb 5-cleft, spreading; stamens 3: fr. 3-celled, 2 of which are empty.—About 58 species, Eu., N. Afr., W. Asia, and N. Amer., mostly in the Medit. region.
Corn salad is both a salad plant and a pot-herb, chiefly the former. The name "corn salad" is probably derived from the fact that the plant grows spontaneously in the grain-fields of Europe, large quantities of it being gathered in early spring. It is rather tasteless compared with lettuce, and is little known in America. Abroad it is prized as a fall and winter salad. It is a cool-season crop, grown like lettuce and matures in six to eight weeks. Plants should stand about 6 inches apart in the row. An ounce of seed should give 2,000 to 3,000 plants. The following description of the varieties is derived from Vilmorin's "Vegetable Garden." See Vol. II, p. 851.
