Description

Spreading in open weedy thicket along trail. Fruit hooked-bristly with a short, stubby beak. Crushed leaves with a sort of "sweet parsley" scent; did not try tasting it, but assumed edible.

According to the USDA website, the only Ohio record for this plant is from Ottawa County.

Abundant in open areas along small stream. Second photo clearly shows the early-ripening fruit at the base of the inflorescence, considered a diagnostic character for this species.

In full flower; 5-10 shrubs in an open gas line ROW in dry oak woods. I watched a carpenter bee and a dark-colored skipper (probably a duskywing) pollinate the flowers as I took this photo.
