Is cilantro known as something else in the UK... coriander, possibly?

Top one is Spunkovia Jissimatus (known as horse cum weed).

Bottom one is Rhoiddius Extatica (known as Bottom Balm).

HTH.

Top one looks like Thai basil, should taste a bit of aniseed. Bottom one isn't coriander, or cilantro, although it does look familiar.

Coriander is indeed cilantro, but that plant at the bottom isn't it (them). Don't know what it is though.

Who binned the labels eh?

Or did they just say, in this age of 'OMG like that's really hard', 'Herb'?
