Sium suave (from the Latin sium, the Latinization of Greek sion, meaning "water parsley," and suâvis, meaning "sweet."),[1] the hemlock waterparsnip[2] or water parsnip, is a herb native to parts of Eurasia and North America.[3]

The water parsnip is a member of the Apiaceae family and appears with leaves and white flowers during blooming.[4] The plant lives in marshes and other wetland in areas below 3000 feet.

The Kutenai call water parsnip nakhankam (Ktunaxa: naq̓an̓kam).[5]
