Branching umbellate

The seed is rarely cleaned effectively, owing to the great cost of cleaning (1 50 roubles per pood on an average). It is invariably admixed with some immature seed (from the branch-umbels), chaff, particles of earth (either the remains of earth adhering to the roots or collected on the clay threshing floor) and the seed of various weeds, especially of coriander, a plant wmch cannot be entirely eradicated from an anise field. 

Features Stem up to five feet high erect, shiny, striated. Leaves lanceolate, serrate, terminal leaflet lobed. Umbels globular. Root fleshy, aromatic, much branched below. 

Features Stem erect, three to four feet, striated, smooth, freely branched. Leaves thrice pinnate, awl-shaped leaflets. Flowers (July and August) golden yellow, in broad, terminal umbels. Fruit oblong, cylindrical, slightly curved, half-inch long by one-tenth inch broad. Taste and smell, sweetish and aromatic. 

Features The branched stems of one to three feet high are tough and bristly. The whole plant is hairy, and the leaves are oblong and bipinnate, with acute segments. Blossoming in June and July, the umbel of white flowers usually contains one crimson flower in the centre. The root tapers, is yellowish-white, sweetish, and faintly aromatic. Wren tells us that "in taste and odour it resembles the garden carrot, but the root is small and white, not large." Ferrier, however, says of this root, "no resemblance in taste or colour to the cultivated carrot." Our own opinion is that Wild Carrot tastes like a rather distant relative of the household carrot—which it probably is. 

The raceme, corymb, umbel, etc., are frequently compounded. The compound raceme, or raceme with branched pedicels, is called a panicle. Examples Yucca and paniculate inflorescence of the Oat. 

The ripeness of caraway starts in the first decade of July in lowlands and in the end of July in foothills. The plants begin to be reddish brown and the fruits are light brown. The achenes from main umbels and two thirds of the umbels of the first branch are hard, easily divided into two mericarps with typical spicy flavour and they have uniform colour. The harvest is not delayed because of possible decrease of the quality by the rain. 

Rachis clearly branched. Especially in leafy inflorescences the primary branches may be called partial inflorescences. The inflorescences mentioned under 45.1 may be branched several times their name is then maintained, but compound is added, for instance compound umbels (an umbel of umbels), compound spikes (instead of flowers secondary spikes), compound racemes (instead of flowers secondary racemes). There are a great number of inflorescences for which no proper name exists. When necessary they will have to be described extensively, preferably accompanied by schemes.

Branched undershmb, branches clothed with mealy stellate hoary tomentum. Leaves ovate, subacute, entire, minutely stellate pubescent with 6-8 pairs of veins. Flowers 5-6 together in sessile or sessile umbellate cymes, greenish to lurid yellow. Calyx with stellate tomentose, green. Fruits berry, red, smooth, enclosed in inflated calyx. Seeds yellowish scruffy. ...
