| Apiaceae | Daucus carota ssp. carota | Queen-Anne's-Lace, Wild Carrot | Pastures, fields, roadsides, waste places. | Native of Europe. |  |
| Apiaceae | Daucus carota ssp. sativus | Garden Carrot | Planted as a garden vegetable, and as a short-lived waif around gardens. | Originated in central Asia only about 1000 years ago from an ancestor genetically differentiated from D. carota ssp. carota (Iorizzo et al. 2013). |  |
| Apiaceae | Daucus pusillus | American Queen-Anne's-lace, American Carrot, Rattlesnakeweed, Seed-ticks | Rocky prairies, open woodlands, pastures, fields, roadsides, waste places. | Widespread in Southeastern United States, north to NC and MO; also distributed on the west coast of North America and south into n. Mexico; the species also occurs in s. South America, in Chile, Argentina, s. Brazil, and Uruguay, where it is considered native. There is perhaps doubt that this species is native in North America, at all. It should be expected in the lower Piedmont of NC and in the Coastal Plain of se. VA, which it closely approaches. Robert Wright has collected this species as a waif in Henrico County, VA (Wright et al. 2023). The native distribution of this species is speculative. |  |
