Taenidia integerrima

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Taenidia integerrima

Family: (Apiaceae)

Perennial to 3′ .  Yellow Pimpernel. North America.  Among members of the Carrot family, Yellow Pimpernel has an unusual appearance because the leaflets lack any lobes or teeth and have smooth surfaces. This makes the species easy to identify in the field. The compound umbels of tiny, five-petalled, yellow flowers give an open and airy appearance.  Blooming in late spring and early summer, with sporadic blooms as the summer progresses, the tiny flowers also attract many beneficial insects.  Partial sun in well-drained soil.  An interesting curiosity growing well in our Systematic Order Beds.  3 & T1
