Description

Lomatium rigidum is a perennial herb growing up to about half a meter-1.5 feet tall from a large taproot. There is generally no stem, the leaves and inflorescence emerging at ground level. The hairless gray-green leaf blades are made up of several sharp-toothed, fleshy segments. The inflorescence is a webbed umbel of tiny yellow flowers.
