? Umbelliferae species

Post by IL-PINE »

Well I was looking at some photographs and found this species in my archives. Taken at Imtahleb in May.
Could you kindly help!

If you have the leaves of the plant, it would be easier. I went a bit in depth of your photo and I came to Bupleurum or Smyrnium for the moment.

I forgot to continue my comment to the pic of Pine (MWP: good idea to ask for the leaves :lol:) If I am right with my assumption that the leaves are less thin divided as they are in the Fennels (Admini: I am convinced that Il-Pine knows the Fennels very well and would not need to ask for), I think I know what it is (anyway, MWP, it is also not Bupleurum or Smyrnium), so I would conclude: Kundmannia sicula (Reference: Weber & Kendzior (2006), Flora of Malta- A Field Guide. Margraf-Verlag, Germany). :lol: :lol: :lol:
