About

Lomatium greenmanii is a rare species of flowering plant in the carrot family known by the common names Greenman's desertparsley and Greenman's biscuitroot. It is endemic to Oregon in the United States, where it is found only in the Wallowa Mountains of Wallowa County.

This is a petite perennial herb with highly dissected green basal leaves each 3 to 6 centimeters long. The inflorescence is borne on a stem just a few centimeters tall. It is an umbel of tiny yellow flowers. Blooming occurs in July and August after the snow melts in its high elevation habitat.
