Fruit: Seed: Importance to wildlife: Similar species (if any): The flower clusters of Cicuta bulbifera resemble those of Cicuta maculata (Water Hemlock), Sium suave (Water Parsnip), and some other plants. However, there are two key characteristics that help to identify Cicuta bulbifera. The very narrow leaves of Cicuta bulbifera, typicaly 3 mm or less wide, sometimes toothless, or with widely spaced teeth, is the first feature to look for. The second characteristic is the appearance of small bulblets in the leaf axils. None of the other species have these two features.
