Daucus pusillus is a species of wild carrot known by the common names American wild carrot[3] and rattle-snake-weed.[4] Its Latin name means "little carrot", or "tiny carrot". It is similar in appearance to other species and subspecies of wild carrot, with umbels of white or pinkish flowers.[5] The taproots are small, edible carrots. It should not be confused with Conium maculatum, which is highly poisonous.[6]
