CELERI, Wild, (Apium antarcticum), was found in considerable quantities by Sir Joseph Banks and Dr Solander, on the coast of Terra del Fuego. It is like the garden celeri in the colour and disposition of the flowers, but the leaves are of a deeper green. The taste is between that of celeri and parsley. It is a very useful ingredient in the soup for seamen, because of its antiscorbutic quality.
