Helosciadium nodiflorum (formerly Apium nodiflorum), commonly called fool's watercress, is a flowering plant found in ditches or streams and native to western Europe. It is a low-growing or prostrate perennial with pinnate leaves which have a vague resemblance to those of watercress. Helosciadium nodiflorum has short-stalked umbels of very small white 5-petalled flowers which are opposite the leaves and grow from the side of the stem at the leaf axils. It blooms in July and August.It is not a poisonous plant, but it could be easily confused with the allegedly poisonous lesser water parsnip – Berula erecta (Huds.) Coville.
It is common throughout England, Wales and Ireland but is much less so in Scotland.
