 icHuddersfield - The humble umbel
The Umbel family, Umbelliferae (syn Apiaceae), is just as easy to recognise, when the plants are flowering and we have seen the tall white cow parsley flowering in the hedgerows recently as a commonly recognised example of this family.
Among the ornamental plants in the Umbel family is Astrantia that is grown for its delightful papery pink and green flower heads in mid-summer.
The typical umbel flowers are not as obvious as they are hidden among the colourful bracts and this feature is repeated in Eryngiums (sea hollies) that can be seen growing wild on the sand dunes around our coasts.

 UMBEL POSITION ON THE MOTHER PLANT: "SEED" YIELD AND QUALITY OF SEVEN CULTIVARS OF FLORENCE FENNEL
In South Italy two experiments were conducted to study the position of umbels on the mother plant on seed and germination of seven cultivars of Florence fennel.
In the first year the cultivar Di Mantova differed from the other cultivars for yield per plant, seed yield produced from the umbel of the FO and TO, the 1000 seed weight of the PU and FO; furthermore the seed showed the lowest germination and speed of germination.
The umbel of the OO produced 52% of the yield per plant with the lowest 1000 seed weight and germination percentage.

 Inflorescence Design Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: )
We conducted a field study of selection on the size of inflorescence units (umbels) by manipulating umbel size and number in a natural population of Asclepias tuberosa, in southeastern Arizona, during two reproductive seasons.
We found that the male fitness function reached a maximum at an intermediate umbel size in both years (although not significantly different from the smallest umbel size in either year), whereas the female fitness function was highest for the smallest umbel size in one year, but was constant across umbel sizes in the other year.
Our empirical results, when inserted in the model, predict ESS umbel sizes similar to those observed in the study population and the species throughout its range.

In declaring Umbel a sexual predator, Judge Kelsey wrote that Umbel had chopped into pieces the body of his victim, 3-year-old Alex Leimgruber, after Umbel raped and murdered him in 1992.
Brooke Leimgruber, the victim's mother, was at the sex-offender hearing and had hoped Umbel would be deemed a sexual predator, but she said yesterday that she and other family members were disturbed when they read the reference to the body being chopped up.
Judge Kelsey was not on the bench when Umbel's case went to trial in 1993.

recurva (referred to as Lilaeopsis in this proposed rule), the Huachuca water umbel, is a plant found in cienegas (desert marshes), streams and springs in southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico, typically in mid-elevation wetland communities often surrounded by relatively arid environments.
These communities are usually associated with perennial springs and stream headwaters, have permanently or seasonally saturated highly organic soils, and have a low probability of flooding or scouring (Hendrickson and Minckley 1984).
Three to 10 very small flowers are borne on an umbel that is always shorter than the leaves.

Based on their findings, we chose umbels per plant, flowers per umbel, and pods per umbel as the major potential components contributing to phenotypic variation in seed yield.
In the first year, 1969, the most umbels per plant were produced in North Dakota, but during the second year of growth, umbels per plant in Minnesota increased almost 25 times (Tables 3 and 4).
Some characters were precisely measured at each location and year, such as flowers per umbel and pods per umber However, several characters, such as umbels per plant and total seed yield in Oregon and Minnesota, were unreliably measured.
