Vegetative characteristics

Lomatium nudicaule is a perennial herbaceous plant . It forms a squat taproot . Fully grown plant specimens reach heights of growth of 20 to 45 (to 90) centimeters. The above-ground parts of the plant are bare and greenish-blue in color.

The leaves are divided into a petiole and a leaf blade. The pinnate leaf blade is simple or two-fold three-part. The leaf segments are larger than the very finely divided leaflets of the other Lomatium species, which makes Lomatium nudicaule unmistakable. With a length of 2 to 5, rarely up to 9 centimeters and a width of 1 to 6 centimeters, the leaf segments are egg-shaped to circularly spherical and roughly serrated near the upper end.

Generative characteristics

The flowering period extends from April to June. The inflorescence stem is often thickened and hollow below the umbel. The double-gold inflorescence contains 7 to 27 unequal rays, which are relatively long with lengths of mostly 8 to 10 (6 to 20) centimeters. The flower stalks are 3 to 15 millimeters long. There are no bracts and bracts .

The flowers are hermaphroditic. Sepals are hardly recognizable. The petals are yellow or pale yellow.

The achenes are usually 8 to 12 (7 to 15) millimeters long and 2 to 5 millimeters wide. It is surrounded by 0.5 millimeter wide wings, which can be as wide as the actual fruit.

The basic chromosome number is x = 11; there is diploidy with a chromosome number of 2n = 22.

Occurrence

Lomatium nudicaule occurs in western North America from the Canadian province of British Columbia to the US states of Washington , Idaho , Utah , Oregon , Nevada and California . It is not considered endangered.

Lomatium nudicaule grows on sandy soils in areas with at least 350 mm average annual precipitation . Lomatium nudicaule occurs in dry, open to sparsely forested locations in the lowlands to medium altitudes. It is often observed in shrub steppes , pinyon, juniper, yellow pine and mountain bush communities as well as on mountain meadows in the area between the Cascade Range and the Rocky Mountains , but can also be found on the coastal side of the cascades.

ecology

Lomatium nudicaule is a welcome diet especially for domestic sheep , but it grows in such small abundances that Lomatium nudicaule can hardly be classified as a forage plant of importance.

Lomatium nudicaule is forage for the caterpillars of the swallowtail Papilio zelicaon .

Taxonomy

The first description was in 1814 under the name ( Basionym ) Smyrnium nudicaule by Frederick Traugott Pursh in Flora Americae Septentrionalis; or, ... , 1, page 196. The new combination to Lomatium nudicaule (Pursh) JMCoult. & Rose was published in 1900 in John Merle Coulter and Joseph Nelson Rose in Contributions from the United States National Herbarium. Published Smithsonian Institution , Volume 7, page 238. Other synonyms for Lomatium nudicaule (Pursh) JMCoult. & Rose are: Cogswellia nudicaulis (Pursh) MEJones , Ferula nudicaulis (Pursh) Nutt. , Pastinaca nudicaulis (Pursh) Spreng. , Peucedanum nudicaule A. Gray .

use

Lomatium nudicaule is a traditional source of food for many Indian tribes.

Your plant parts are also used in herbal medicine , u. a. used against tuberculosis . It was also used by the indigenous peoples of southwest British Columbia and Washington in ceremonies for catching and processing salmon . The W̱SÁNEĆ (Saanich), who they call qe x mín , burn the seeds in an open fire or in the stove when the salmon is being dried. The Kwakwaka'wakw and the Nuu-chah-nulth also burned the seeds as incense at burials, while their singers "oiled" their voices with them.

The seeds are traded commercially. Larger quantities can be obtained through special contracts.
