Daucus broteri, commonly known as Brotero's carrot,[3] is a wild relative of Daucus carota that can be found across the northeast Mediterranean and the Middle East.[4] It grows in cultivated and plantation-type land.[1]
Daucus broteri forms disc-shaped bunches of white flowers called Umbels that bloom between April and August.[5] It grows up to 10 to 30 cm with an upright stem that's heavily branched at the base with a single, long taproot and leaves that are bi-pinnate.
