The difference between snake bed and carrot

Plant differentiation: carrot plant is tall, looks taller, snake bed plant is short, looks small; flower differentiation: carrot inflorescence is big, there are some sticky hooks on the flowers, the smell is bad, snake bed inflorescence is small, there are no sticky hooks on the inflorescence; stem leaf differentiation: carrot leaves are dense, there are thick underground stems, snake bed leaves are sparse, there are no thick underground stems.

I. plant differentiation

Carrot plants are relatively high, with a height of 15 to 120 cm.

Snake bed plants smaller, shorter, about 10 to 60 cm tall, if the same number of years for comparison, you can easily distinguish

Flower differentiation

Carrot inflorescence is large, the flower is compound cyme, the bract is pinnate, the umbel has sticky hook, and has bad smell.

The flowers of the snake bed are similar, but the catkins are small. The flowers are cymose, the involucres are not divided, and the umbels are not sticky.

3. Difference between stem and leaf

In the former, the leaves grow densely and have thick underground stems, and the leaves grow round the main stem of the plant. The latter leaves relatively sparse, there is no thick underground stem.
