Perideridia americana, also known as eastern yampah or wild dill, is a flowering plant in the Apiaceae family. It is found in 12 Midwestern states in the United States and is considered threatened or endangered in at least 3 of them. In Missouri, it is listed as a conservation species of concern. This perennial herb grows in calcareous soils in various habitats, such as glades, upland prairies, and forests. Its stems can reach heights of 50 to 120 centimeters and its leaves are sparse and doubly pinnate, with long tapering leaflets. The plant produces small white flowers in compound umbels and its fruits have 5 slender ribs and are 3-5 millimeters long. The life cycle of this species was studied and described in a 1993 paper.
