Habit of immature plant.
Same location and time as upper images.
At this stage, it can be readily mistaken for a rather robust fern, though there is no relation. The foliage also resembles that of a carrot, which it is related to. But note that all parts of the plant are toxic to ingest. It is not poisonous to the touch, but if you do touch it, I advise washing your hands thoroughly before touching any food!
