This plant is dioecious (separate male and female flowers) and classified as an umbellifer. I first saw it in Somerset when I expected to see a plant looking like all the other tall herbaceous umbellifers I knew. This one is only 10 or 20 cm in height so can be hidden in grassland. Sorry about the awful picture taken in the rain and gloom.
