  Umbellifers
Umbellifers dominate in the herb garden, not just because of their numbers, but also with their size.
Some umbellifers, such as bronze-leaved fennel, can be raised from basal cuttings taken in spring, but the tendency to resent root disturbance means that most are raised from seed.
Umbellifers are generally hermaphrodite and a single plant is capable of producing fertile seed.

 ECP/GR - Vegetables, MAP Network: Umbellifer Crops Working Group
In order to coordinate activity on the other 8 Umbellifer crops and their wild relatives, the first meeting of a significant number of the ECP/GR Umbellifer national representatives was held in Edinburgh in November 2001, in conjunction with the third GEN RES Carrot project meeting.
Where possible, national Umbellifer representatives have identified taxonomic experts who are willing to assist in studies of the taxonomic problems associated with genetic resources collections.
Information on Umbellifer taxonomy, as well as on molecular research, floras and revisions, genetic resources and wide ranging publications is provided by the Umbellifer Resource Centre of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, UK.

 Umbellifer Resource Centre: Databases
The World Umbellifer Database has been developed at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh as a taxonomic tool for systematic studies in the Umbelliferae (Apiaceae).
It was created in 1992 from an electronic output from Index Kewensis, then held on an internal network at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and other sources of TDWG (Taxonomic Database Working Group) data standards (including geographic regions).
The World Umbellifer Database is recorded in the IOPI Database of Plant Databases, and there is part of Species 2000: indexing the world's known species programme.

 RBGE: Umbellifer Resource Centre
The Umbellifer Resource Centre website, and its parent page the Apiales Resource Centre are designed to provide an international network for researchers interested in the flowering plant families Umbelliferae/Apiaceae and Araliaceae.
They include information on publications, research projects, individuals, datasets, news and views, etc., and have already proved valuable for a wide variety of enquirers.
This is particularly important for student research and on-going projects that have not otherwise been advertised through published papers, conference presentations, etc., and we encourage anyone to make a contribution.

Title : Molecular Phylogenetic Study of Apiaceae Subfamily Apioideae Abstract : 9407712 Downie The "umbellifer" group of plants, including economically and pharmaceutically important plants such as carrots, parsnips, celery, anise, caraway, coriander, cumin, fennel, dill, parsley, and many toxic and medicinal plants, has attracted interest and study for centuries.
These results will be an important reference for taxonomists, plant breeders, ecologists, and pharmacologists as well as evolutionary biologists interested in the interactions of umbellifers with their associated insect herbivores.
Future taxonomic and evolutionary studies of the plants will benefit from this robust phylogenetic analysis.

 Giant Hogweed, recognition and eradication
This spectacular plant which is a member of the Umbellifer Family, was introduced from the Ural Mountain region by Victorian gardeners, but unfortunately it is now widespread in the wild and causes a number of problems.
The stems contain copious amounts of clear watery sap which makes the skin very sensitive to sunlight.
To dispose of any plant material or soil contaminated with it, requires a certificate for Waste Transfer and to be taken to a suitably licensed landfill site.

Heracleum refers to Hercules who made use of the plant's supposed medicinal properties.
Not only are the plant’s leaves unusual for their size (the largest of any umbellifer in the Americas), but the flowers also are different from those of other Apiaceae.
The flowers growing along the circumference of the umbel are irregular; their outer petals are larger than the others, and they are sometimes bilobed.
