Brunsfeld'S Desertparsley (Lomatium brunsfeldianum)
Description
Lomatium brunsfeldianum Kemper & R.P. McNeill is a new species described from four populations in Idaho: the Lochsa River Canyon, North Fork of the Clearwater River Canyon, St. Joe River Canyon, and along the Couer d'Alene River. It is morphologically most similar to Lomatium bicolor var. bicolor and L. grayi var. grayi. It can be distinguished from Lomatium bicolor var. bicolor by the wide geographical separation, distinctive umbel structure, root morphology, and different habitat, and can be distinguished from Lomatium grayi var. grayi by the characters of the mericarps, papillae in the umbel, root structure, and ecological separation. Lomatium brunsfeldianum occurs congruently with Lomatium ambiguum and Lomatium dissectum var. multifidum, but is easily distinguishable from either based on morphology.
