Apiastrum

Apiastrum is a monotypic genus of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, containing the single species Apiastrum angustifolium,[1] which is known by the common name mock parsley. It is native to Arizona, California and northwestern Mexico,[1] where it is resident in many types of habitat. This is an annual herb producing a branching stem up to half a meter tall from a taproot. Leaves are plentiful along the stem, each up to about 5 centimeters long and split into many narrow lobes. Several inflorescences arise from the stem, often but not always from leaf axils. The inflorescence is a compound umbel of tiny flowers each with five pointed white petals.
