I think you are correct

Apiaceae week plant for identification from Nashik : 15 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (3)

attaching images of Apiaceae member for identification. please identify

Thanks, …

Pl. check comparative images at Apiaceae & Angelica, Bupleurum, Chaerophyllum, Daucus, Eryngium, Heracleum, Pimpinella, Selinum & Seseli

Fair chance of it being Pinda/ Polyzygs sp., most likely P. concanensis [Pinda concanensis (Dalzell) P.K. Mukh. & Constance].
With available data it will always remain a guess.

This is definitely not Pinda, my apologies.
Apiaceae without close up images and images of fruit is truly difficult (for non-experts).

Pls inform location of collection. My 1st guess is Pimpinella wallichiana.
Pls also let me know the height of the plant

location mountain top, height about 3 feet

I think my id will be correct then. P.wallichiana is a tall and attractive apiaceae member. Chordate leaves also match

On perusal of comparative images at Pimpinella

I find it is more closer to Pimpinella adscendens Dalzell rather than Pimpinella wallichiana (Miq. ex Hofaen.) Gandhi in C.J. Saldanha & Nicolson

Thanks, … for the initial Id.

Thanks …, But … has mentioned that the plant was 3 ft tall and had chordate leaves. P.adscendens is neither 3 ft tall nor has chordate leaves.

Thanks, … Leaves & habit are visible in the posted pictures.

Thank you all, … i din’t mention that leaves are cordate, i just mentioned that in flora of Nashik leaves of P wallichiana are described as cordate (leaves in the images dont look so) any way good discussion so we settle for Pimpinella adscendens Dalzell

Sorry …, But I still go with P.wallichiana. P.adsecdens, as I have seen in and around nashik, is a very small plant which trails on the ground and inflorescence stalk rising upwards. Locally people call it ‘Gaajri’ and the leaves are edible.
P.wallichiana is tall as a meter and I have also seen taller ones. It is a favorite of rock bees.
Even if u did not say ‘chordate’, …, I am sorry to have said that, but ur pictures do show chordate leaflets.
I think we should ask some else to respond on this also.
