''Oenanthe javanica'', Java waterdropwort, Japanese parsley or Chinese celery, is a plant of the water dropwort genus originating from East Asia. (Chinese celery is also the name given to ''Apium graveolens'' var. ''secalinum''). It has a widespread native distribution in temperate Asia and tropical Asia, and is also native to Queensland, Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Oenanthe javanica'' (Blume) DC. )〕 While many other species of water dropwort are extremely toxic, ''Oenanthe javanica'' is edible, and is cultivated in the People's Republic of China, India, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand (ผักชีล้อม), the Republic of China (Taiwan) and Vietnam, as well as in Italy, where its spring growths (called ''seri'' セリ in Japanese, ''minari'' 미나리 in Korean) are relished as a vegetable. It is one of the ingredients of the symbolic dish consumed in the Japanese spring-time festival, ''Nanakusa-no-sekku''. It is commonly consumed in the Northeast Indian State of Manipur, where it is called ''komprek'' in Meithei. It is one of the main ingredients in Manipuri Eromba and Singju. This plant should not be confused with the plants of the genus ''Cryptotaenia'', sometimes called "Japanese wild parsley" (''mitsuba'' in Japanese). The plant contains persicarin and isorhamnetin.〔Anticoagulant activities of persicarin and isorhamnetin.
