Apiaceae, growing in Europe and temperate parts of
Asia.
A very common plant, some are even considered as noxious
weeds, it grows in meadows and verges on slightly wet porous soils.
The hollow
stem is erect and branched, ending in compound
umbels of small white or greenish
flowers. The leaves are bipinnate or tripinnate.
