Balsamorhiza serrata (serrate balsamroot)[1] is a North American species of plants in the sunflower tribe within the aster family. It is native to the western United States, primarily the northern part of the Great Plains. It has been found in Washington, Oregon, northern Nevada, and the northeastern corner of California (Modoc County).[2][3]
Balsamorhiza serrata is an herb up to 30 cm (12 inches) tall. Leaves have teeth along the edges, hence the name "serrata." It has yellow flower heads, usually borne one at a time, with both ray florets and disc florets.[4][5]
