It is native to the forests of Oregon and northern California, where it can often be found on serpentine soils. It is a perennial herb growing 20 to 40 centimeters tall. The leaves have blades which are divided into three-lobed leaflets and borne on long, thin petioles. The inflorescence is a compound umbel of yellow flowers with up to 12 unequal rays measuring up to 6 centimeters long each. The fruit is rounded, ribbed, and only 2 or 3 millimeters long.
