Lomatium canbyi, also known as Canby's biscuitroot, is a flowering plant found in the Pacific Northwest and northeast California. It grows in sagebrush-covered plateau areas and barren flats. This perennial herb can reach up to 25 centimeters in height and has no stem, with leaves and flowers growing directly from the ground. The leaves are divided into many small leaflets and the flowers are white and clustered in an umbel shape. The roots of this plant are used as a food source by the Klamath and Modoc peoples.
