Ammi visnaga, also known as Visnaga daucoides, is a species of flowering plant in the carrot family. It is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa and is commonly known by many names, such as toothpick-plant, toothpickweed, bisnaga, khella, or sometimes bishop's weed[1]. The plant is known for its delicate white and green domed flowers and green, angelica-like architectural seed pods[2]. 

Some key features of Ammi visnaga include:

- Family: Apiaceae[3]

- Cultivation: It can grow in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade and may require staking[3].

- Propagation: The plant is suitable for cutting and is often used in florist shops and gardens[4].

- Phytochemistry and Medicinal Properties: Ammi visnaga has been studied for its phytochemical properties and potential medicinal uses, such as preventing cell Phytomedicine and inhibiting oxalate nephrolithiasis[1].

Ammi visnaga is often used in cut flower gardens and is known for its tall and willowy growth habit, with a more pronounced dome of flowers than its sister species, Ammi majus[4]. The plant is also popular for its bee-attracting properties and can be sown as part of a wildflower meadow or pollinator garden[5].
