Plant Description

General: Stout perennial herb from a taproot, glabrous, strongly glaucous; stems solitary to several, 20-90 cm tall. [1]

Leaves: Mostly basal, large, compound, 1-3 times divided; ultimate segments 3-30, entire or shallowly toothed, 2-9 cm long, 10-60 (rarely 4) mm wide, veiny, often stalked. [1]

Flowers: Inflorescence of compound umbels; flowers yellow, small, stalks of unequal length; involucels lacking. [1]

Distribution

Widely distributed throughout Washington; British Columbia south to California, east to Idaho and Utah.[2]

Habitat

Dry, open areas; common in shrub-steppe, but found in mountain meadows.[2]

Seed

Longitudinal Cross Section: elliptical LONU long.png

Propagation

Seeds benefit from stratification, slow to establish. Seeds germinated within 1-2 weeks. [1]


Bloom Time

Uses

  • Seeds chewed for colds [4]
  • Poultice of chewed seeds applied or chewed seeds blown on head for headaches.[4]
  • Infusion of seeds taken by pregnant women to insure an easy delivery.[5]
