There are two varieties of Parsnip to be seen. One, the wild variety, is var sativa and is a native of limestone and chalk; the other, var hortensis, is the the cultivated parsnip. Here in East Anglia the likelihood is that any parsnips will have escaped from one of the many fields under cultivation so this one is probably the introduced variety hortensis.
