Queen Anne's lace is a common name for a plant and most often refers to the species Daucus carota. Queen Anne's lace may also refer to plants with flowers similar to Daucus carota, including:
Ammi majus, originates in the Nile River Valley and has white lace-like flower clusters
Anthriscus sylvestris, a herbaceous biennial or short-lived perennial plant in the family Apiaceae. The wild carrot is a herbaceous, somewhat variable biennial plant that grows between 30 and 60 centimetres (1 and 2 ft) tall, roughly hairy, with a stiff solid stem. The leaves are tri-pinnate, finely divided and lacy, overall triangular in shape. The flowers are small and dull white, clustered in flat, dense umbels. They may be pink in bud and there may be a reddish flower in the centre of the umbel. The lower bracts are three-forked or pinnate, a fact which distinguishes the plant from other white-flowered umbellifers. As the seeds develop, the umbel curls up at the edges, becomes more congested, and develops a concave surface. The fruits are oval and flattened, with short styles and hooked spines.[1] The dried umbels detach from the plant, becoming tumbleweeds.[2] The function of the tiny red flower, coloured by anthocyanin, is to attract insects.
Similar in appearance to the deadly poison hemlock, D. carota is distinguished by a mix of tri-pinnate leaves, fine hairs on its solid green stems and on its leaves, a root that smells like carrots, and occasionally a single dark red flower in the centre of the umbel. Wikipedia
