The Bush Carrot inhabits wet sandy soil areas, such as soaks at the base of rocky outcrops. It is difficult to find, however, as it is a small slender herb and not easy to distinguish from the weeds and grasses that also grow in these areas. It grows up to 50 cm high, with a single upright thin stem and narrow alternate leaves. The leaves are slightly furry. Small flattened seed pods, which are also furry, grow toward the top of the stem.A small carrot like tuber can be found several centimetres below the ground. The plant dies back . . .
