Berula erecta, known as lesser water-parsnip or cutleaf waterparsnip,[3] is a member of the carrot family. Growing to around 1 m (3 ft) tall, it is found in or by water.[4] It is widespread across much of Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America.[5][3][6][7]
Berula erecta is an herb sometimes reaching up to 100 cm (40 inches) in height. Stem is hollow. Underwater leaves consist of compound with thread-like lobes; leaves above the surface of the water and flatter and broader. The plant produces many small white flowers in a compound umbel.[6]
