The leaves are simple, spiral and 4-7 cm X 5-8 mm. The blades of basal leaves are ellipticat and the cauline ones are linear-lanceolate. The inflorescence consists of numerous umbels spreading to form a large, loose panicle. The flowers are bright yellow. The achenes are oblong, brown, and prominently ribbed (Fig. 18). 

One of the last developed version of this system (Neotrend) was developed to monitor blood gases continuously and directly in critically-ill premature babies. The system is equipped with a tiny optical fibre catheter (0.5 mm in diameter) which is inserted into the infant s descending aorta by means of an umbelical artery catheter. A sketch of the probe is shown in Figure 4. 

Panax ginseng is a perennial plant, growing 30-80 cm high. It has a round stem and bears terminal whorls of 5-8 palmate leaves (Gruenwald et al. 1998). The flowers have greenish-yellow corollas and grow in 1-3 umbels of 15-30 flowers. The fruit are red, pea-sized, and round. The rhizome is fusiform and is the principal part for medicinal interest. 

This is a diverse group of crops with a range of flavors. The family likeness appears when they flower—tiny individual flowers are produced in creamy white, umbrella-shaped flowerheads, known as umbels, very like those of their relations cow parsley and bronze fennel. They are very attractive to beneficial insects. 

It has been suggested that metabolites resulting from detoxification of plant compounds such as ferulic acid, a detoxification by-product of coniferyl benzoate and analogous compounds, may interfere with reproduction. However, experiments have shown that coniferyl benzoate in the diet of Japanese quail [Coturnix coturnix) had no hormonal effects. Rather, costs of detoxication and reduced nutrient utilization deter wild birds such as ruffed grouse, Bonasa umbel-lus, from feeding (Jakubas etal, 1993). 

Flowers Regular Solitary or in racemes, panicles or umbels... 

Flowers mostly choripetalous and not in umbels epigynous hypanthium frequent if sympetalous then herbs with unisexual flowers and often climbing by tendrils. 

Petals usually absent, if present either choripetalous or sympetalous ovary unilocular mostly parasitic shrubs or herbs.Order Santalales 4 Flowers typically sympetalous, the choripetalous groups mostly with umbels epigynous hypanthium rare calyx often reduced or replaced by a specialized pappus frequently flowers in disks or heads. 

Corolla choripetalous flowers usually in umbels or cymes.Order Umbellales... 

Flowers not in umbels or heads subtended by spathaceous bracts. 

Showy flowers arranged in a scapose umbel subtended by more or less membranaceous spathaceous... 

Flowers in the axil of a single bract and collected into spikelets, the latter variously arranged from solitary to umbellate,... 

Umbel A racemose inflorescence in which the axis is very much contracted, so that the pedicels appear to spring from the same point. 

Paper chromatography was used to estimate individual phenolics in lemon juice by Vandercook and Stephenson (119). After enzymatic hydrolysis of the juice, they found for eriodictyol, hesperitin, quercetin, phloroglucinol and umbel iferone average values of 20, 1.4, 2.2, 2.0 and 0.2 mg aglycone/100 ml, respectively. 

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, smooth, channeled, covered with exuded glaucous matter. Leaves alternate, twice pinnate. Flowers in June, terminal umbels. Fruits very small, compressed oval, marked on back in three ridges, with three dark lines (oil cells) between. Taste is distinctive, but recalls caraway. 

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.
