One Bengali dictionary translated \"radhani\" as \"Carum roxburghianum.\" The web site(http://www.treeandseeds.com/spices.htm) implies that radhuni and parsley are not same. It says, \"Carum roxburghianum: Extensively cultivated and eaten like parsley; the seed is also used in flavouring curry.\" Here \"eaten like parsley\" suggests that radhuni itself is not parsley.
