anthriscus

Meaning

A genus of herbaceous plants in the parsley family, commonly known as chervil, characterized by finely divided leaves and small white flowers arranged in umbrella-like clusters.

Examples

• The wild anthriscus often thrives in the damp, nutrient-rich soil found at the edge of woodlands.
• Gardeners sometimes mistake common weeds for members of the anthriscus genus due to their similar lacy foliage.
