Queen Ann's Lace is commonly known as which of the following?

• A. Grey Goldenrod
• B. Wild Carrot
• C. Quacking Aspen
• D. Queen Anne's Lace

Answer: (B)

Queen Anne's Lace is the common name for Wild Carrot. This plant is a member of the carrot family and is known as a weed in many fields and disturbed areas. In its first year it forms a rosette with finely divided, lacy leaves and a slender taproot that resembles a small carrot. In the second year, it sends up a tall flowering stalk topped with a white umbrella-shaped cluster of flowers, sometimes with a dark purple central floret. The other options refer to different species (grey goldenrod, quaking aspen) and do not match Queen Anne’s Lace, making Wild Carrot the correct identification. Recognizing this weed helps in selecting appropriate herbicides and management practices.
