rays and flowers more numerous (or plants <15cm tall); fruits subglobose to narrowly ovoid, obscure to weakly ribbed 41 41 Leaves 4-pinnate, held on one plane; bracts and bracteoles present; calyx teeth lanceolate to obsolete 42 + Leaves ternate or pinnately divided, but not to 4-pinnate; bracts and bracteoles present or absent; calyx teeth obsolete to minute 43 42 Flowers yellow; calyx teeth lanceolate Meeboldia + Flowers white; calyx teeth obsolete Vicatia 43 Leaf segments ovate, oblong or lanceolate, 0.5–4cm broad  Pimpinella + Leaf segments lanceolate to linear-lanceolate, <0.5cm broad 44 44 High altitude plants from a woody tap root; bracteoles >3, linear-subulate; petals with a long claw Tongoloa + Mid to high altitude plants from a tuber or tuberous rhizome; bracteoles absent to few, early falling; petals not long clawed 45 45 Rhizome usually cylindric, sometimes tuberous; leaves broadly sheathing; outer flowers radiant; petals obovate Sinocarum + Plants usually from a short tuber, sometimes rhizomatous, leaves narrowly sheathing at base; flowers regular; petals acute to acuminate with a filiform tip Acronema 46 Flowers yellow 47 + Flowers white, greenish white, pink, purplish to dark purple 52 47 Leaf segments long and linear to linear-filiform, <1mm broad and >6mm long, aromatic 48 + Leaf segments not long and linear, >1mm broad or <6mm long, usually not aromatic 49 48 Large glaucous perennials to 2m tall or more, strongly anise-scented when crushed Foeniculum + Annuals or short-lived perennials, to 75cm tall, not glaucous Anethum 49 Dwarf, almost stemless plants with a tough fibrous base; leaves pinnate (leaflets pinnatifid), narrowly oblong in outline; ovary densely covered with white hairs Semenovia + Plants with erect stems, fibrous at base or not; leaves (1–)2–4-pinnate, triangular to ovate in outline; ovary glabrous or only sparsely hairy 50 50 Plants to 45cm tall; leaves mainly basal, finely 4-pinnate into linear-lanceolate ultimate segments <1mm broad Meeboldia + Plants >45cm tall; leaves 1–2-pinnate into ovate to lanceolate ultimate segments >3mm broad 51 51 Plants erect to scrambling, >1m tall; stem glabrous, leafy throughout; main umbel >25-rayed (else plant scrambling) Angelica + Plants erect, 0.5–1m tall; stem moderately hairy; leaves few, 1–2 basal and 1–2 cauline; main umbel <25-rayed Heracleum woodii 52 Outer flowers of umbels zygomorphic with distinctly enlarged outer radiant petals 53 + All flowers with petals sub-equal 58 53 Annuals, foetid when crushed; at least upper leaves with long linear-filiform ultimate segments <1mm broad Coriandrum + Slender to robust perennials, not strongly smelling; leaf segments not long linear-filiform, usually >1mm broad 54 54 Glabrous, slender-stemmed plants, usually <40cm tall 55 + Hairy (especially around nodes and below umbels), usually robust-stemmed plants, mainly >40cm tall 56 55 Plants from a cylindric or tuberous rhizome; bracteoles absent to few, shorter than pedicels, early falling; petals without a long claw Sinocarum + Plants from a woody tap root; bracteoles >3, linear-subulate,  usually longer than pedicels, not early falling; petals with a long claw Tongoloa 56 Bracts and bracteoles numerous, large, lanceolate-ovate, persistant Tordyliopsis + Bracts absent or few, early falling; bracteoles linear 57 57 Dwarf almost stemless herbs, <15cm tall Chamaesciadium + Taller, long-stemmed herbs, >15cm tall Heracleum Page developed and maintained by Mark Watson
