Serological techniques were employed to compare the three subfamilies Hydrocotyloideae, Saniculoideae, and Apioideae of the Umbelliferae. Data obtained from turbidimetric and double diffusion analyses of seed proteins from thirteen genera demonstrated three distinct serological groupings. These groupings correspond to the three subfamilies. The serological data indicated that one grouping (Apioideae) was more similar to Saniculoideae than to Hydrocotyloideae.
