Question
Hello. Everything about this plant looks like Wild Carrot, but in minature: foot high, diameter of inflorescence size of a quarter or less, nothing like any similar plants in Peterson. The Daucus pusillus (American Wild Carrot) is a western, possibly southern plant. Now coming north? Fully formed. Daucus carota is in the same area, but nothing like this fully-formed small one. On the edge of a paved parking lot in woodland area, on a ridge, not swampy. Ossining, NY. Thanks.
Answer
Dear juliwoo, thanks for your images. I'm not sure exactly who you have there, but it doesn't look like Daucus pusilla. That written, images in fruit would be really helpful if possible. I would need a close-up of the fruits and the entire array of them to better determine who this plant is. If you have a clear image of the leaves, I might be able to do more now. Best wishes.
