Helosciadium nodiflorum[2] (synonym: Apium nodiflorum), fool's watercress,[1] is a flowering plant found in ditches or streams, as well as fresh and brackish-water wetlands native to western Europe. It is not poisonous to humans but it could be easily confused with the allegedly poisonous lesser water parsnip.
