Culantro, at least the one I am thinking of, is of
Carribbean or West Indies origin (Eryngium Foetidum),
and is also know as Long Coriander, False Coriander,
Spirit Weed, ngo-gai, Saw Leaf Herb, and many more.

Maybe someone can tell us if 'culantro' in the extant
texts refers to coriander, or if they really used E.
Foetidum.

For they are strong and angry jealous ones.
Or lay upon my altar now your love
I feel my time is short...there are armies moving close
Be Quick My Love.
