Anís

There are at least five different species of anise-like medicinal plants that are recognized in Dominican healing traditions. Those that are included in the present edition of this book are listed below in bold along with their other common Spanish names:

- Anís chiquito = anís de comer, anís de cocinar, anís pequeño, aniscito (Pimpinella anisum)

- Anís comino = comino (Cuminum cyminum) or hinojo

- Hinojo = anís hinojo (Foeniculum vulgare) or anís comino

- Anís de estrella = anís estrellada, anís grande (Illicium verum)

- Aniseto = aniceto (Piper marginatum)

The common names of the first three types of anís are easily confused because their dried fruits or “seeds” (the part of the plant traditionally used for medicine) are similar in appearance, taste and shape. For more information on a specific type of anís, see the plant entry for the appropriate common name listed in bold above.... anís

Aniscito
