Default What's this plant (Apiaceae)?

So this plant looks something like Aniseroot (Osmorhiza longistylis),
but it doesn't have an odor as Osmorhiza has. Also, the stipules
aren't hairy, and the fruits seem too small.


It's Osmorhiza longistylis. Wikipedia's article on O. longistylis is
apparently mistaken in stating that O. longistylis' leaves have an
odor. The fruits are small in young plants,.
