umbel

Spoke-like bloom cluster

An umbel is a flower cluster in which individual stalks spring from the same point, spreading outward like the ribs of an umbrella.

Carrots, parsley, and dill produce umbels, as do plants in the family Umbelliferae.

The Queen Anne's lace displayed its delicate white umbel.
