Description: The characteristics of this family, formerly known as the Umbelliferae, which includes nearly 3000 species.
There are between 2500 and 3000 members of this family, found all over the world, but mainly in the temperate areas and rarely in tropical regions. Some well-known vegetables and herbs are in this family (Carrot, Parsnip, Celery, Fennel, Angelica) some are familiar weeds of hedgerows and woodland (Cow Parsley, Hogweed), and some are grown as ornamental garden plants (Eryngium, Astrantia, Aciphylla), although these mainly do not look like umbellifers at all. Some are poisonous, notably Hemlock.
