Heracleum maximum
44.2871, -124.115
Field Notes
Description:
very large lobed leaves, tall sturdy stem, white umbel of small flowers that becomes very large
Habitat:
on the edge of pine & sitka spruce forest, at the midpoint of a sea cliff
Notes:
The local Natives enjoyed eating the peeled stems (harvested before the plant fully flowered) before logging and development took away a lot of its native habitat. It seems to prefer roadsides (which often run with water) and edges of woods rather than open fields.
