Chaerophyllum tainturieri, known by the common names hairyfruit chervil[2] and southern chervil,[3] is an annual forb native to the south-eastern United States, with disjunct populations in Arizona and New Mexico. It is a common plant, found in glades, fields, and disturbed areas.[4] It produces small white umbels of flowers in the spring.
This species was the subject of a germination study, which revealed a new type of seed dormancy.[5]
