Ammi is a genus of about six species of summer-flowering plants in the family Apiaceae. They are native to southern Europe, northern Africa and Southwest Asia. They have fern-like leaves and white or cream coloured lace-like flowers borne in branched, rounded umbels.[1]

Ammi spp. (Bishops weed) is prohibited by the Australian New Zealand Food Standards code under standard 1.4.4 due to active constituents:

furocromine
coumarin derivatives
.03% volatile oil (camphor and carvone)
Fixed oil and protein
flavonol glycosides (quercetin and kaempferol)

Ammi majus, A. visnaga and their cultivars are frequently seen in gardens where they are grown as annuals or biennials.[1]
Accepted species

Ammi crinitum Guss.
Ammi huntii H.C.Watson
Ammi majus L.
Ammi majus subsp. procerus (Lowe) Menezes
Ammi topalli Beauverd
Ammi trifoliatum (H.C. Watson) Trel.
