Abstract
Sterile petal-like stamens, reported by others in North American wild carrot, are here reported and illustrated from a wild carrot accession from Sweden. Although the North American material has been utilized already in carrot breeding, a more fundamental study of stamen petaloidy in botanical research dealing with flower differentiation is urged.
