一年生草本植物的物種，原生於地中海南部與印度，最初的種植地很可能是肥沃月彎。此植物可生長至4公尺高，開出藍色的花後結成帶有種子的莢。耕種的目的有兩個，其一是取得纖維以製成亞麻紗線與織品，其二則是取其種子以製成亞麻籽油；亞麻籽油是可做為營養補給品的食用油，也是油漆與木材亮光漆產品的原料成分。喬治亞與瑞士的史前遺址中發現亞麻使用的證據；古埃及墓穴中也常出現精緻的亞麻織品；腓尼基的商人將亞麻引進高盧與不列顛；羅馬人則將亞麻製品引進整個羅馬帝國。直到17世紀，亞麻工業已成為西歐一項重要的工業。

Species of herbaceous annual, native to the area of the eastern Mediterranean and India; probably first cultivated in the Fertile Crescent. The plant grows to 4 m in height, bears blue flowers succeeded by pods that contain the seeds. It is cultivated both for its fiber, from which linen yarn and fabric are made, and for its seed, the source of linseed oil, which is an edible oil used as a nutritional supplement and as an ingredient in painting and many wood finishing products. Evidence of its use has been found in the prehistoric sites in Georgia and Switzerland. Fine linen fabrics are common in ancient Egyptian tombs. It was brought to Gaul and Britain by Phoenician traders; the Romans introduced linen manufacture throughout their empire. By the 17th century, linen manufacturing was an important industry in Western Europe.
