Default Strange plant, can anyone idenify it for me?

True - it obviously wasn't Myrrhis, in several grounds.

Uon checking, there ARE some of the native Umbelliferae with
palmate leaves at the end of their stalks - Sanicula and
Astrantia - but it obviously isn't either, and I think that
your diagnosis is right.

Generally, however, that's not an Umbelliferae pattern, and I
should have looked more closely.
