Flowers of Saunf/Fennel plant
Family: Apiaceae Foeniculum vulgare बडीशेप
Saunf(foeniculum vulgare) flowering – indiantreepix | Google Groups : 1 image. Very nice to see this tiny APIACEAE (UMBELLIFERAE) inflorescence. Here is some more inf. from Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foeniculum_vulgare Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species in the genus Foeniculum (treated as the sole species in the genus by most botanists). It is a hardy, perennial, umbelliferous herb, with yellow flowers and feathery leaves, grows wild in most parts of temperate Europe, but is generally considered indigenous to the shores of the Mediterranean, whence it spreads eastwards to India. It has followed civilization, especially where Romans have colonized, and may be found growing wild in many parts of the world upon dry soils near the sea-coast and upon river-banks.[1] It is a member of the family Apiaceae. It is a highly aromatic and flavorful herb with culinary and medicinal uses, and is one of the primary ingredients of absinthe. Fennel is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the Mouse Moth and the Anise Swallowtail.
Fennel is a perennial herb, meaning that it grows year-round. It is erect, glaucous green, and grows to heights of up to 2.5 m, with hollow stems. The leaves grow up to 40 cm long; they are finely dissected, with the ultimate segments filiform, about 0.5 mm wide. Its leaves are similar to those of dill, but thinner. The flowers are produced in terminal compound umbels 5–15 cm wide, each umbel section having 20–50 tiny yellow flowers on short pedicels. The fruit is a dry seed from 4–10 mm long, half as wide or less, and grooved.
The bulb, foliage, and seeds of the fennel plant are widely used in many of the culinary traditions of the world. Fennel pollen is the most potent form of fennel, but also the most expensive. Dried fennel seed is an aromatic, anise-flavoured spice, brown or green in colour when fresh, slowly turning a dull grey as the seed ages. For cooking, green seeds are optimal.[3] The leaves are delicately flavored and similar in shape to those of dill. The bulb is a crisp, hardy root vegetable and may be sauteed, stewed, braised, grilled, or eaten raw.

Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Gard. Dict. ed. 8 1 1768. Common name: Fennel, Saunf
The commonly used spice looks similar to Anethum sowa but has more robust plant, thicker stems with lighter green colour and whitish bloom, thicker leaves, larger lighter yellow flowers and larger lighter green fruits.
Photographed from Botanical Garden of Khalsa College, Delhi.
Please also see comparison photographs under Anethum sowa. , Fruits & Vegetables Week: Foeniculum vulgare from Delhi:
Foeniculum vulgare from Delhi, Fennel or saunf plant It may be confused with Anethum sowa but has larger lighter coloured flowers, few in an umbel, stems thicker, lighter in colour often somewhat glaucous, fruits larger and broader, lighter in colour. I am uploading it along with comparison photographs. – I wish some one corrects me. The sowa plant we grow in Delhi and known as Anethum sowa depicted above and also in separate post does not have typical wings of Dill (Anethum graveolens). This has always been confusing me. The sowa leaves have more sharper taste as compared to pleasing softer taste of fennel, and ripe fruits are almost black in colour as compared to almost green in fennel. – we eat here (germany) Fenchel which is Foeniculum vulgare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennel .

Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Gard. Dict. ed. 8 1 1768. Common name: Fennel, Saunf
Attached are pictures of Anethum sowa captured at MNP in April 2014.
Kindly validate. I think Foeniculum vulgare. Thank you … for the correct ID…
