Queen Anne's-lace, wild carrot (Daucus carota; PARSLEY FAMILY [Apiaceae]) 1-5' tall biennial with a stout, edible taproot. Plant covered with bristly hairs. Flowers small and white, but made conspicuous by their arrangement in a flat-topped, tightly packed, 2-4" wide umbel (often with a single pink or purple floret in the center). Leaves twice compound. Common, conspicuous, and invasive weed in fields and waste places. Flowers from summer through early fall. Native of Eurasia. Queen Anne’s-lace can be confused with the next species with potentially fatal results! [096]
