  • Question

    Hi, I need the name of this plant for my project. This plant is located near a St.Matthews wetland in Louisville,Kentucky.

    Answer

    Dear Angel, I would need some additional images to be confident, but your plant does appear to be Conium maculatum (poison-hemlock). The leaf division and the red spots on the stems are good identification characters. Best wishes.
