Traditional / reference
Abstract
Minnesota Wildflowers profile for fool's parsley: each small umbel carries 3 or 4 conspicuous linear bracts that are hairless, much longer than the flower stalks, and bend down away from the flowers (reflexed); the leaves look much like garden Italian parsley, so the common name fits. Anchors the drooping reflexed bracteole 'beard' as the distinguishing test.
