The components of the plant used in these studies were bought from a store. The fruits and leaves of Cleosia cristata were and then ground into a coarse powder. Ethanol, petroleum ether, and chloroform were used in to remove the chemicals. The dry marks on these parts were mixed with warm distilled water and then filtered. The extractives were evaporated with less pressure. One way to get water extractives was to heat a plate in a ceramic dish and let the water drain on it. Albino mice were used to test the antidepressant effect. There was no plan for picking the creatures. Researchers looked at how ethanol, petroleum ether, chloroform, and water extracts from Cleosia cristata fruits and leaves could help people who are depressed. It was mixed with Tween 80 to hold the dried ingredients, which were then mixed with pure water. Iripramine, the prescribed medication, was taken just as directed. Antidepressant medication was detected using the Forces Swim Test (FST). Half an hour before to the commencement of the test, dosages of 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg/kg of imipramine and other extracts were administered. Each group had a minimum of six animals. Utilising Dunnett's Method and one-way analysis of variance, we compared each extractive separately with imipramine (standard) and the control. P<0.001 was accepted to show that the results were statistically significant.

“…The Apiaceae family, consists of about 3780 species in 434 genera, most of which are native to the Mediterranean region and south-western Asia. It includes a large number of wild umbellifers used for different purposes from ancient times (food, traditional medicine) as well as in modern pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries [12,13].…”

Mediterranean countries are a cauldron of cultural exchange, with a strong emphasis on wild plants in cuisine traditions. Many of these plants belong to the family Apiaceae. The common climate determines the common range of distribution. While many plants have wide distribution, the range of distribution of others is restricted to Western Mediterranean or North Africa. This review investigates wild plants from the family Apiaceae traditionally used as food in 13 study sites - 11 countries in the Mediterranean and adjacent territories - the mainland and 3 islands. The aim is to trace patterns of native distribution versus consumption. As a result, 81 wild umbellifers are listed, traditionally used as food. Their consumption and distribution patterns are described and discussed. Interestingly in 8 of the 13 study sites (61.5%) are recorded 50 plants (66.7% of all wild umbellifers, traditionally used as food) which are consumed in only one particular country. These are as follows: 8 taxa in Morocco, 9 taxa in Spain, 2 taxa in Sicily, 3 taxa in Bulgaria 3 taxa in Crete, 8 taxa in Armenia, 14 taxa in Turkey, and 3 taxa in Jordan. However, these 50 restrictedly consumed plants are distributed in more than one country (except 15 taxa, which are endemics). Many of the plants that are used in certain countries are not consumed by the neighboring people. The results of the two statistical tests, namely Jaccard index and heatmap clustering (double dendrogram) are discussed. The presence of an outlier, such as Bulgaria, which shares borders, history, and culture with Greece and Turkey, emphasizes the importance of local climate on plant distribution and consumption over cultural interactions. The same was observed for some pairs of countries, such as Spain and Morrocco and Turkey and Armenia, although they had the highest number of common plants, that are both distributed and consumed as food.
