No, not as straightforward as that. I thought "umbel .. umbrella ...is there any leaf that by some stretch of the imagination I could think of as umbrella-like". And the fact it has orange in its common name sounded promising. As you know, I'm a lot less precise than you when describing or identifying plants! Inspired guesswork rather than technical analysis ;-)
