Daucus (ancient Greek name). Umbelliferae. Perhaps 60 annual and biennial herbs of very wide distribution. One or 2 species are native to N. Amer.; one species of Daucus is the common garden carrot, and the wild form of the same species is an abundant old- field weed in the northeastern states. Aside from the carrot, there are no horticultural members of the genus. Daucus comprises bristly or setose slender plants, with pinnately decompound and often finely divided lvs., very small fls. in compound involucrate umbels, and oblong mostly dorsally flattened frs. The species are mostly of the temperate regions of Eu., Afr. and Asia. CH
