Shrikant ji ... any characteristic that rules out Pimpinella wallichiana ?
... 10 umbels, about 13 flowers per umbel (ranging from 10 - 18 flowers / umbel)

Regards.

[Gurcharan Singh]

Not Scandix stellata atleast, which has only 1-3 rays (as against ca 10 here) and sessile flowers (long pedicelled here).

... many thanks to all for comments ... Shweta ji, any comment on differing number of umbels in plants being compared ?
Am not familiar with any of Pimpinella species, therefore the query stressing on number of umbel rays.

Regards.

[Bhatt Sweta]

Umbels vary from 5-10 as per the references....

can go through this
http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Hairy%20Hogweed.html
or refer Shrikant Inghalikar's - Flowers of Sahyadri, a very good pictorial guide!!

Shweta

[Dinesh Valke]

Many many thanks Shweta ji ... convinced !!!
Taking this plant as P. tomentosa.

[Dinesh Valke]

Dear friends,

This is Scandix stellata Banks & Sol. ... just as Shrikant ji suggested in this thread earlier.

Regards.

It may also not be Pimpinella tomentosa as it looks different from images as per POWO and GBIF

What are the species of Pimpinella reported from Maharashtra ?

Thanks Garg ji.

It is definitely not Pimpinella tomentosa.Dalzell ex C.B.Clarke

It is not Scandix stellata Banks & Sol. as per images illustrated in various sites like POWO, GBIF.

Most probably not Ammi majus L. - an introduced plant, not recorded in northern Western Ghats.

In all probability, it must be Trachyspermum roxburghianum H.Wolff.

Regards.

Dinesh

[J.M. Garg]

Yes, you seem to be right as per GBIF specimen and other references.
