I would have to agree with TomH, they do looks a lot like cumin seeds. The seeds are very small (only about 3mm or 1/8 of an inch long). What would be some other key characteristics to look for if it is in the Apiaceae family?
I agree that the plants and seeds both look very much like they are in the carrot family (Apiaceae). Could be a wild parsnip or angelica species . . . Is there any particular aroma when the foliage is crushed?
P.S. If you go to your original post (the first post in this thread), click "Edit", and add your photos there, you may get better success with responses; many of us don't bother opening posts that look like they have no photos.
Just to clarify on the picture thing--once a post/reply has been published, you can't edit it and add pictures, all you can do is update the text of the post. Switching browsers won't change that, but if you're still having trouble in general with posting pictures then it's worth trying a different browser (I believe that the site in general tends to work better with Firefox vs Internet Explorer)
Thats the one, Ami majus!
So heres whats going on... I was given several different seeds for a project in a plant ecology course. The assignment was to figure out what plant the seeds originated from. Information could be gathered by any means, dichotomous keys, crowd sourcing, etc. Because one of the plants was not producing adequate growth (was only showing young leaves, and there was no flowering) I was provided with that final photograph that showed up on the flickr page.
Thanks for all your help spoonlegs! The intermediary information you were providing was very good as well. From original information provided that truly looked like the right direction. If you dont mind me asking, how did you find the exact same photo?
