Morphology

A tall, though only annual plant with white umbels without involucres. The stems of this chervil are tomentosed at the base, angular in cross-section, grooved and hollow inside.

Ciliate leave , tri- or dipinnate.

The inflorescence of our plant is an umbel compound of  smaller umbels, while these in turn consist of  single, inconspicuous, snow-white flowers. Single flowers are clustered in  characteristic of chervil, devoid of involucres (bracts growing from  base of the entire inflorescence) compound umbel, with cover composed of  many leaves. The calyx of the flower is inconspicuous with  barely noticeable teeth of sepals, and  corolla with  entire-margined, obelliptical petals. There are always 5 stamens, and  2 pistils with  lower, two-ovule ovary provided with a stylopodium.

The fruit will be a schizocarp, typical for celeries, cracking at  two mericarps. In  the case of cow parsley, they are characterized by petioles always shorter than the fruit, no costas, linear or tapered shape, short rostrum, and shiny and  smooth surface.
