Star-shaped yellow flowers in Isola, Madagascar

With a few hours of siesta time in the soaring heat of Isola (even during winter) I decided to walk the botanical garden near our lodge, with the macro lens in hand. Upon photographing the interesting plants and bugs there, every single staff member asked me "chameleon??? where???".

Because, you know, I'm a weirdo for being interested in anything other than lemurs and chameleons.

    It looks like Fennel although other Apiaceae are similar. Posted 12 years ago

      This was a planted garden covering also non-local species, so I think your identification is quite likely right. Thanks! Posted 12 years ago

The Fennel

Fennel is a plant species in the genus "Foeniculum". It is a member of the family Apiaceae. It is a hardy, perennial, umbelliferous herb, with yellow flowers and feathery leaves. It is indigenous to the shores of the Mediterranean, but has become widely naturalised in many parts of the world, especially on dry soils near the sea-coast and on riverbanks.
