  1. wild parsnip

    Wild parsnip, scientifically known as Pastinaca sativa, is a plant species native to Eurasia that has become naturalized across North America. It is identified by its yellow flowers, grooved stems, and green leaves. The plant is infamous for emitting a sap that can cause skin to be more sensitive to ultraviolet light, leading to severe rashes and blisters when exposed to sunlight. Despite this, its roots can be cooked and eaten much like common parsnips.
