Looks similar to a fern. Apparently the juices of this plant was used to execute Socrates by the Athenians. It is a member of the Carrot family, and sometimes emmits a foul odor. Take caution when removing, wear washable gloves.

There is more than one plant in the same flower bed, curious whether its a weed or not.
