The biology of Canadian weeds.: 111.: Anthriscus sylvestris (L.) Hoffm.

Wild chervil, Anthriscus sylvestris (L.) Hoffm. (Apiaceae), is a weed of perennial crops, old fields, disturbed areas and roadsides. Introduced from Eurasia, it is widely naturalized in eastern Canada from Newfoundland to Ontario and at two sites in British Columbia. It is a monocarpic short-lived perennial, reproducing by seed and budding from the root crown. Dense populations achieved through vegetative reproduction can exclude most other vegetation. The rust, Puccinia pimpinellae subsp, pimpinellae, was detected on a population of wild chervil from Quebec.
