Poisonous hemlock is easily mistaken for Queen Anne’s Lace.

http://www.kingcounty.gov/environment/animalsAndPlants/noxious-weeds/weed-identification/poison-hemlock.aspx

“Poison-hemlock can be confused with wild carrot (Daucus carota, or Queen Anne’s Lace), as with many other members of the parsley family that resemble it. ...Snip.... Poison-hemlock is acutely toxic to people and animals, with symptoms appearing 20 minutes to three hours after ingestion. All parts of the plant are poisonous and even the dead canes remain toxic for up to three years...”

I do not think that you would be looking for Queen Anne’s Lace but if you know anyone who might be, please let them know!

I only mentioned it because it's a famous abortifacent.
