Lomatium parryi, commonly known as Parry's biscuitroot and Utah desertparsley, is a perennial herb in the carrot family.

The species epithet parryi honors Charles Christopher Parry (1823–1890), the first official botanist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture[2] who also served during the Union Pacific Eastern Division's 1867 survey of the American Southwest.

The yellow flowers, which are visible in late winter and early spring[4] and are easily overlooked due to their tiny size, are borne in an umbrella-like pattern known as an "umbel.

Lomatium parryi often retains its previous year's dead leaves and flower stalks, underscoring its resilience and ability to adapt over time.

[5] Lomatium parryi is a plant related to celery and carrots within the Apaceae family whose roots were harvested and consumed by early Native Americans.
