I'm an herbal student- I know what to do with herbs after they are dried but I'm still a novice in recognizing them in my yard.

Help me identify this plant #plantid. I would think this is queen Anne's Lace or wild carrot. Found all along the side of the road. They do not have the purple center however. Are they still Queen Anne's Lace?

@DRose 2 other ways you can tell without the dot in the center is queen annes has a hairy stem and also has the small leafy arms under the bloom

I notice the Latin in this encyclopedia, labels this Ammi Majus, which is different from Daucus carota. I looked up to see if they are the same but are not. It says that Majus will not have a center but Carota does. Help!
