Identifying a Parsley-Like Plant in Central Florida

A Central Florida gardener found a plant with single terminal flowers (not umbels) and opposite leaves, initially thought to be parsley.

ID Challenges

Florida's flora is vast and includes many non-natives. The expert (in NJ) couldn't ID from photos alone.

Best Action

• Take **clear photos** (whole plant, leaves, flower, stem) to **local independent garden centers** (not big-box stores).
• Visit **multiple nurseries** until someone recognizes it.
• Consider **UF/IFAS Extension** for master gardener help.

Regional expertise is essential for Florida weeds.
