The stem is erect, 6-20 inches tall, branched above the middle, with ridges having minute teeth. The stem is green in color and has a faint carrot-like smell when broken. Leaves are alternate, petiolate, and 3–pinnately compound or dissected. Flowers are produced in a terminal, flat-topped, compound umbel. Individual flowers have 5 white, heart-shaped petals. The fruit is a schizocarp. This species was until recently known as Bifora americana Benth. & Hook. f. ex S. Watson.--A. Diamond
