{{dablink|This article is about the ''[[Pimpinella]]'' species, but the name "anise" is frequently applied to [[Fennel]].}}
'''Anise''' or '''Aniseed''', less commonly '''anís''' (stressed on the second syllable) (''Pimpinella anisum'') is a [[flowering plant]] in the family [[Apiaceae]], native to the eastern [[Mediterranean region]] and southwest [[Asia]]. It is a [[herbaceous]] [[annual plant]] growing to 1m tall. The [[leaf|leaves]] at the base of the plant are simple, 2-5 cm long and shallowly lobed, while leaves higher on the stems are feathery pinnate, divided into numerous leaflets. The [[flower]]s are white, 3 mm diameter, produced in dense [[umbel]]s. The [[fruit]] is an oblong dry [[schizocarp]], 3-5 mm long.
''Pimpinella'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species, including the [[lime-speck pug]] and [[wormwood pug]].

Anise (Pimpinella Anisum, Linn.) is an annual, easily grown from seeds in any warm and mellow soil. The seeds are commonly sown where the plants are to stand, and the plant matures rapidly. The seeds are used in medicine and in cookery, and for flavoring liquors; they yield a highly perfumed essential oil; they arc mostly grown in Mediterranean countries. The Lvs. are also used as seasoning and garnishing. The plant reaches a height of 2 ft. or less, bears twice-pinnate Lvs. and small yellowish white fls. in large, loose umbels. The seeds are oblong and curved, ribbed on the convex side, grayish, the size of caraway seed. In common with all umbelliferous seed, anise seed does not retain its vitality long, the normal longevity being 1-3 years. Native from Greece to Egypt.
