Evert's springparsley is a small, low-growing perennial wildflower in the carrot family, native to the sagebrush country of northwestern Wyoming and northeastern Utah. It is a wild native rather than a commonly cultivated garden plant, so care is mainly about keeping it dry, sunny and undisturbed.

About

Cymopterus evertii is a species of flowering plant in the carrot family known by the common names Evert's springparsley and Evert's waferparsnip. It is native to Utah and Wyoming in the United States.

This plant was first discovered in 1981 and described in 1986. It is a small perennial herb forming a low tuft of herbage from a branching caudex covered in the persistent bases of previous seasons' leaves. The leaves are up to 13 centimeters long and 1.6 wide. They are divided into many small sections. When crushed they smell like orange peels. The inflorescence is an umbel of tiny white flowers.
