This was growing on a street corner by an abandoned lot in northeast Florida. The plant doesn't reach more than about 6 inches maximum in height.

My first thought was that it might be a form of Baby's Breath (Gypsophila), but the leaves are more like a Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus).

My camera doesn't do closeups very well of such tiny flowers, but if more photos are needed, I will try to get some.

Thanks!

Hey there Jeremy!

I'm wondering if the plant in question could be a variety of Torilis (Hedge Parsley)?

Ptilimnium capillaceum?

Or, maybe this one Oxypolis filiformis (5th plant down this page):

I wonder if that is correctly named Lin?

Water-Dropwort is also known as Hog-Fennel and Cowbane.

The plant is an erect perennial herb. Average height of a single stalk is about 5 feet.with a slender, sparsly-branched, heavily striated (marked with fine, parallel lines) and a hollow stem. The roots are fibrous. Distribution is throughout the Escambia region. Its preferred habitat is wet ditches, prairies, bogs, marshes, and pinelands.

The leaves are alternate on the stem, consisting of one whole part, no teeth and no lobes, flattened, and linear in form.

I think JrsBugs is closest with the Ptilimnium capillaceum suggestion. The plant is growing on a very hot, dry street corner with no irrigation (and we are in yet another drought period in Florida), so I don't think it could survive if it were a marsh plant.

Also, the leaves are more like dill or fennel, rather than being parsley-like.

I will check back with the plant, get some more photos and see if any seeds have developed.

Thanks for the input!
