Smooth Meadow Parsnip (Thaspium trifoliatum L)

 
Photographic Location: Flat Rock Cedar Glades in Rutherford County TN.

Smooth Meadow Parsnip is in the Apiacese (Parsley) Family. It is rather abundant right now. The yellow variety grows mainly in the western part of the state (TN) while the purple variety grows mainly in the eastern part of the state.

Golden Alexanders (Zizia) are easily confused with Meadow Parsnip, but the central flower of each umbellet is not stalked.
