Daucus pusillus is a species of wild carrot known by the common names American wild carrot[3] and rattle-snake-weed.[4] Its Latin name means "little carrot", or "tiny carrot". It is similar in appearance to other species and subspecies of wild carrot, with umbels of white or pinkish flowers.[5]
The taproots are small, edible carrots. This is a common plant found in the Southern United States and along the west coast of North America from Baja California to British Columbia; as an example occurrence in Baja California, D. pusillus occurs in association with Mimulus aridus and Adiantum jordanii.[6] It should not be confused with Conium maculatum, which is highly poisonous.[7]
