Description
Taprooted perennial.
The lowermost leaves often attached at or below the ground surface, ternate-pinnate, primary divisions are generally pinnatifid, the primary divisions separated from the other segments by an entire (not toothed) rachis. Upper cauline leaves less well developed and smaller.
Inflorescences are umbels made up of yellow flowers, staminate flowers more numberous than bisexual flowers. Terminal umbels are head-like, flowers nearly cessile, and umbels subtended by pointed bracts. Calyx connate at base, calyx teeth ovate and pointed.
Fruit is ovioid-globose, with uncinate prickles. [1][2]
Bloom Period
May-July[1]
Distribution
Victoria Island and southern BC south, both sides of the Cascades, to southern California, east to western Montana and northwestern Wyoming.[2]
