Yes, Marge, that's the one. Another example of confusion caused by
using "common names". Interesting that this is the same species as
the cultivated parsnip. Does the foliage of the cultivated variety
have the same problems, or is this a case where the toxicity has been
"bred out" of the cultivated plant?
