Strickland's umbrellawort is a small perennial wildflower in the carrot family, native to seasonally wet subalpine meadows around Mount Rainier and a few sites in Oregon. It is a narrow endemic and rarely grown in gardens, so care advice is limited to what suits a wet, cool, native meadow setting.

Tauschia stricklandii is a perennial herb in the Apiaceae family with the common name Strickland's umbrella-wort. It is a narrow endemic that is found mostly in meadows around Mount Rainier.

Where it grows

Tauschia stricklandii is abundant in certain seasonally wet meadows around Mount Rainier in Washington state, notably in Grand Park and Spray Park. It is also found in a few other Mount Rainier meadows and there are apparently disjunct populations in a few isolated meadows in northern and western Oregon.
