bright green, sometimes tinged with red, wedge-lanceolate, lobed, and somewhat
decurrent. The flowers are white, and appear from July to September. The involucre
is wanting, but an involucel of three long and narrow leaves distinguishes this plant
from the garden parsley, from which it also differs in the peculiar and disagreeable
smell of the leaves.
