Trachymene incisa, the wild parsnip, is a perennial herb native to eastern Australia (particularly QLD and NSW) growing in sclerophyll forest and cleared areas, with a preference for sandy soils and rock crevices. Wild parsnip is 80 cm high with thick perennial rootstock and is sparsely hairy to almost hairless.
The roots are a traditional Aboriginal bushfood and are eaten after baking in campfire coals or in earth ovens.
It has no known medicinal uses.
