- Daucus carota, whose common names include wild carrot, bird's nest, bishop's lace, and Queen Anne's lace (North America), is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to temperate regions of Europe and southwest Asia, and naturalized to North America and Australia.
D. carota was introduced and naturalized in North America, where it is often known as "Queen Anne's lace". Both Anne, Queen of Great Britain, and her great grandmother, Anne of Denmark, are taken to be the Queen Anne for which the plant is named. It is so called because the flower resembles lace; the red flower in the center is thought to represent a blood droplet where Queen Anne pricked herself with a needle when she was making the lace.
The flowers are small and dull white, clustered in flat, dense umbels. They may be pink in bud and may have a reddish flower in the centre of the umbel. The lower bracts are three-forked or pinnate, which distinguishes the plant from other white-flowered umbellifers.
As the seeds develop, the umbel curls up at the edges, becomes more congested, and develops a concave surface bird's nest. The fruits are oval and flattened, with short styles and hooked spines. The dried umbels detach from the plant, becoming tumbleweeds.

- Wilde peen (Daucus carota), ook wel vogelnestje genoemd, is een plant uit de schermbloemenfamilie (Umbelliferae of Apiaceae).
Wilde peen komt voor in droge graslanden, bermen, dijken en duinen. De plant wordt 30-90 cm hoog.
De soort bloeit in juni tot de herfst met schermen. Het scherm bestaat uit vele stralen, waarvan de buitenste bij rijping in de vorm van een "vogelnestje" naar binnen zijn gebogen. Deze omwindselbladen zijn heel typisch van vorm; ze hebben vier lange zijslippen.
De bloemetjes zijn wit of roze met in het midden van het scherm vaak een plukje zwart-purperachtig. De elliptische splitvrucht is 2-3 mm lang, die met vier rijen lange aan de top hakige stekels bezet is.
