Upright Hedge Parsley is an annual herb occasionally
found on waste ground, beside paths in the Himalayas, at altitudes
of 500-3000 m. Stems are stiff, ridged, with
downward-pointing appressed hairs. Leaves are double compound with
much-divided segments. Both upper and lower bracts present, narrow and
undivided. White flower are borne in umbels 2-4 cm in diameter,
inflorescence being very similar to other plants of carrot family. Fruits
are 3-4 mm long, with purple hooked bristles. The fruits grab hold of
nearly any fabric and any hairy appendage which happens to be exposed.
Because of this feature the plant spreads very rapidly.
