(Theyare best seen in slices across the mericarp) — Stems common-ly hollow. Leaves alternate, mostly compound, the petioles ex-panding or sheathing at base. Umbels mostly compound,the secondary ones being called umbellets / the whorl ofbracts at the base of the umbels is called the iiivolucre, andthat beneath the umbellets the iiivolucel — A large and diffi-cult family, some of the plants innocent and aromatic, othersmedicinal, and others acrid and narcotic, highly poisonous.
