You seemed to be implying that the composites and umbellifers are in the same family. Doubtless there are biochemical connections as exposed in that study, which I came across earlier when I was investigating what you posted, but "family", and the names Asteraceae and Apiaceae, have quite specific taxonomic meanings. The latest version of the molecular based APG classification system, APGIII (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III) does not place these two families close together. Traditionally, plant classification relies on the coming together of several aspects of the study of plant relationships, not the consideration of one aspect in isolation. No doubt DNA studies and our greater understanding of evolution will come more to the fore as time goes on. In the meantime, my carrots and dandelions shall remain distant relations only.

The discussion of "wild carrot" and "Queen Anne's Lace", with its various confusions, confirms the view of some botanical pedants that only Latin names should be used. That would be a pity. For a start, it would rob me of the ability to show off. And I do like the folk names of our wild plants. Even science can be poetic occasionally.

Incidentally, in quite a few rural areas of the UK cow parsley/Queen Anne's Lace is known as keck.
