Description
Highly variable native perennial from rising from a branched crown, erect to slightly spreading stems, 4-8 dm tall. 5 varieties are intergrading.
Basal leaves are numerous, the leaves are white woolly on the underside, bear large stipules, comprised of 5-9 leaflets, oblong-eliptic, margins deeply toothed.
Inflorescence large, many-flowered, open, somewhat flat-topped; calyx 6-10 mm. broad, the 5 lobes 4-10 mm. long, ovate-lanceolate, the alternating bracteoles narrowly lanceolate, nearly as long; petals 5, yellow, obcordate, longer than the sepals; stamens 20; pistils numerous, the style slender, sub-terminal on the achene and the same length.
Fruit is an achene 1.5-2 mm. long, smooth, greenish.[2][3]
Bloom Period
July - August.[3]
Distribution
Alaska south, on both sides of Cascades, to California, east to Quebec, Montana, Colorado and Arizona.[4]
Habitat
Damp to seasonally damp meadows, flatlands, sagebrush steppes, open forest.[4]
Uses
Wildlife: Medium palatability for browsing and grazing animals.
First Nations: Sx̌ʷyʔiɬpx use, infusion of pounded root as a blood tonic, antidiarrheal, and general tonic for aches and wash for sores. Nlaka'pamux use as root and leaf poultice, mixed with subalpine fir pitch, used as a drawing medicine on wounds.[5]
