Nineleaf Biscuitroot, Nineleaf Desert Parsley
Lomatium triternatum
Synonyms: Lomatium simplex var. leptophyllum, Lomatium triternatum ssp. triternatum, Lomatium triternatum var. triternatum
Note: At some point, all or most of the Lomatium triternatum found in the western half of Oregon may become known as Lomatium brevifolium (based upon genetic work). Until that time perhaps comes, they will remain L. triternatum here.
