Williams' Springparsley (Cymopterus williamsii)
Description
Williams' spring parsley is a tufted, perennial herb with basal, oncepinnately compound leaves and a flowering stalk 5-10 cm tall. Leaves are usually glabrous, somewhat leathery, and distinctly bluish or greyish green. The inflorescence is a ball-like, compound umbel of small yellow flowers. Fruits are glabrous, broadly elliptic to oval, and slightly rounded with prominent ribs on the surface (although these are not thin and wing-like as in many other species of Cymopterus) (Fertig et al. 1994, Hartman and Constance 1985).
