Cicuta bulbifera (bulb waterhemlock; bulblet-bearing water hemlock; bulblet-bearing water-hemlock)

Synonyms: Cicutaria bulbifera; Keraskomion bulbiferum (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

Cicuta bulbifera, commonly known as the bulb-bearing water-hemlock, is a plant native to North America and one of four species in the poisonous genus Cicuta. Tiny bulbils form in the leaf joints in the upper part of the plant, giving the plant its scientific and common names. Cicuta bulbifera can be distinguished from Cicuta douglasii by its narrow leaflet segments (less than 1/4 of an inch wide) and its bulbil-bearing upper leaf axils.
