Umbels on Wild Carrot (Daucus carota)

An umbel is an inflorescence which consists of a number of short flower stalks (called pedicels) which are equal in length and spread from a common point, somewhat like umbrella ribs. Umbels are a characteristic of plants such as carrot, parsley, dill, and fennel (Family Apiaceae). A compressed cyme is called umbelliform if it resembles an umbel.
