(Apiaceae)

Found growing between an elevation of 6,000 ft. and 8,500 ft. in varied habitats and in most cases with Erigeron, Eriogonum, Astragalus, Lupunis, Lathyrus, and Artemisia. Extremely pungent fresh or dried. Would look really nice in mesic setting with Artemisia, Ericameria, and native grasses.

Also found around 6.000 

THE plant for Swallowtail butterflies, along with Lomatium grayi, this is the preferred host plant for Papilio indra indra and is used by all other Papilios. Most lomatiums are excellent pollinator plants but Papilio indra has shown it will reject others and use graveolens.
