About Cenolophium fischeri (Spreng.) W.D.J.Koch

Cenolophium is a genus of flowering plants in the carrot family, Apiaceae (alternatively called Umbelliferae). This genus contains only one species, Cenolophium denudatum, commonly known as Baltic parsley. This species is native to Europe and Asia. It is a herbaceous perennial plant that reaches 1.5 m (4.9 ft) in height and 0.5 m (1.6 ft) in width. It has dark green divided leaves, and in summer it produces many umbels of tiny pale green or white flowers that grow on branching naked stems — this stem trait gives the species its Latin specific epithet denudatum. Its stems are sometimes purple in color. The flowers attract a wide range of insects. When cultivated in the United Kingdom, this plant has earned the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, a status that was reconfirmed in 2017.
