Balsamorhiza hookeri (Hooker's balsamroot) is a North American species of perennial plant in the family Asteraceae.

[2] It is found in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona.

[3][4][5] The leaves are compound pinnate, with the leaflet divisions also divided or deeply lobed.

[2][7][8] It grows to 9,000 feet (2,700 m) in dry, grassy meadows in sagebrush steppe and montane plant communities in the Great Basin.

[8] It tends to grow in rockier habitats than its cousin, arrow-leaf balsamroot (Balsamorhiza sagittata).
