The family Umbelliferae has been renamed to Apiaceae to better reflect its characteristics and to align with modern taxonomic conventions. The name "Apiaceae" is derived from the genus Apium, which is a representative member of the family. This change helps to reduce confusion and provides a more systematic approach to plant classification, emphasizing the family's botanical relationships.
