  Porophyllum linaria (pipicha, pepicha, chepiche) is a sunny short-lived perennial plant used in Mexican cuisine, where it is often used to flavor meat dishes. It has a strong taste akin to fresh coriander with overtones of lemon and anise.
  
  In some Mexican markets fresh and dried material is available for sale as a condiment. It is also used as a medicinal herb.
