Attaching my clicks of the same, however yours is much better and clear!! ... many thanks to all for comments ... Shweta ji, any comment on differing number of umbels in plants being compared ? Am not familiar with any of Pimpinella species, therefore the query stressing on number of umbel rays. Umbels vary from 5-10 as per the references.... can go through this http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Hairy%20Hogweed.html or refer Shrikant Inghalikar's - Flowers of Sahyadri, a very good pictorial guide!! Many many thanks ... convinced !!! Taking this plant as P. tomentosa.
