Ammi visnaga is also treated as Visnaga daucoides. This Apiaceae species has finely divided leaves and compound umbels of small flowers.
Botanical characteristics
The umbel rays spread during flowering, then become stouter and more erect as the fruit develops. That change explains its distinctive seed-head structure rather than a fixed flat flower outline.
From flowering umbel to fruiting head
Green White is the colour-labelled reference for this species in the bulk flower-seed list.
