KAS Week DS_091012_01 For id: Requesting id for this white cluster - from Kas 22nd Sep 2012.
Perhaps Apium sp.
Pimpinella heyneana of Apiaceae.
 
Please help me to identify this Umbellate plant.
Height: 3 feet
Leaf: 10-12cm
Flower: 0.3cm across
Date: 28 Jul 2012
Place: Valparai, TN
Alt.: 930 m asl
Habitat: wet (near a driblet)
Perhaps it is Angelica sp.
May be some Sanicula species as images appear similar to Sanicula elata
Cicuta sp? i hope its not Cicuta maculata
my god, how did it ever get here? but 
And it may be what we already have seen in FOi here : 
Cicuta virens or cowbane
Can you talk with Muthu and get more info?
Does not look like S. elata !
Thanks, ...,
But it looks different from Cicuta virosa as per
http://www.freenatureimages.eu/Plants/Flora%20C/Cicuta%20virosa%2C%20Cowbane/index.html
This appears to be Sanicula elata Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don (syn. S. europea var. elata). It is common in temperate regions of W.Ghats (Nilgiri and Pulney hills) above 1500 m altitude.
The species is identified as Pimpinella heyneana (DC.) Benth. Common species in evergreen forests.
