| Identification | Queen-Anne's-Lace hardly needs description, since it is familiar to most folks. The leaves are lacy-cut; and the broad, domed umbel is bright white, usually with a maroon central flower. The stems are hispid-hairy. The overlooked and rather poorly-known native D. pusillus differs mainly in its shorter umbel rays (less than 3 cm long vs. greater than 3 cm long in Queen-Anne's-Lace) and having barbed bristles on fruits (vs. unbarbed in the non-native species). | |
