Wild parsnip is 80 cm high with thick perennial rootstock and is sparsely hairy to almost hairless. The leaves mostly emerge form the base of the plant, and are deeply 3–5-lobed to dissected, 1.4–6.5 cm long and 1.5–8 cm wide, with petioles to 13 cm long. Flowers are produced in umbels. Petals 0.9–2.2 mm long, white or rarely pink. Fruit broad ovate, 2.4–3.6 mm long, and brown.[1]
Uses
The roots are a traditional Aboriginal bushfood, and are eaten after baking in campfire coals or in earth ovens.
gollark: Wow, that wiki sure is quite abandoned.
gollark: That does sound quite inconvenient.
gollark: Are there not offsite backups of WE?
gollark: Also, the nginx configuration is incomprehensibly complex.
gollark: In theory osmarks.net itself can just be compiled anywhere and put on any static webserver. In practice it can't because people have come to rely on stuff I arbitrarily scp-ed into the webroot, so I have to back up that folder. And it relies on some dynamic-site logic like the comments.
