 It took me longer than it should have to realize that introduced species tend to do well in distubed places—and lawns, gardens, and the sides of roads and paths are all disturbed spaces.

It can grow to two and a half meters in height and has fernlike bipinnately compound leaves (although this varies from the bottom of the plant to the top), and beautiful white flowers that are tiny and white, but make up for their dimunitiveness by appearing in large compound umbels. The hollow stems are often spotted or streaked with a dull purple color. Once you have see it, you cannot miss it growing in other areas.
