Wild Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) was brought to America for cultivation because of its edible taproot. Unfortunately as is always the case it liked American soil to much and turned into a invasive species that now is a problem for disturbed lands. I think its a quiet stunning plant. The problem is it has a toxic sap if touched with the presences of sunlight can cause a rash that can even blister and sounds very painful.
