Anthriscus sylvestris

Cow Parsley Probably the most frequent "Umbellifera" in Hull. The foliage dies back later in the season making it rather inconspicuous - probably the reason for absence of records for some tetrads. Hedge bottoms and ditch banks.

Conopodium majus

Pignut Only on pastureland outside city boundary.

Pimpinella saxifraga

Burnet-saxifrage 1996 only found on the old railway enbankment, Spring Head. A colony found between Albert Dock and Clive Sulivan Way, 1997.

Aegopodium podagraria

Ground-elder Usually a garden weed, scattered distribution but sometimes abundant.

Berula erecta

Lesser Water-parsnip Single record in ditch to the east of the city boundary.

Oenanthe fistulosa

Tubular Water-dropwort Only on Priory Road fields, can be rather abundant.

Oenanthe pimpinelloides

Corky-fruited Water-dropwort This plant was found in two colonies, both near to the Ennerdale Sports Centre. Material has been determined by M Southam, BSBI referee, and is the northernmost record for this plant in Britain (and possibly Europe). Then next nearest plants grow in Ipswich.

Oenanthe aquatica

Fine-leaved Water-dropwort Only known from the ditches on the fields east of Priory Road.

Aethusa cynapium

Fool's Parsley A weed of cultivation; gardens and flower beds.

Foeniculum vulgare

Fennel Single plant in a roadside shrubbery, Brighton Street.

Silaum silaus

Pepper-saxifrage This indicator of neutral grassland was found in two places. It is very abundant on Priory Road Fields (03K) but several plants were found on the pasture near Tweendykes Road (13B). Both sites are considered to be unimproved relics of the, once extensive, wet pasture which surrounded the city.

Conium maculatum

Hemlock Very common in waste places throughout the city.

Apium graveolens

Wild Celery In suitable places along the banks of the Humber and Hull, often abundant.

Apium nodiflorum

Fool's Water-cress In ditches, infrequent.

Angelica sylvestris

Angelica Usually associated with larger land drains. Single plant on the sea-wall near Albert Dock.

Pastinaca sativa

Wild Parsnip recorded by Ray Eades, 1996.

Heracleum sphondylium

Hogweed Common.

Heracleum mantegazzianum

Giant Hogweed All records Ray Eades, 1996. The 03Q record is for the Avenues area, 1997.

Torilis japonica
