Zizia aptera is a flowering plant native to North America.

[1] The leaves are 2.5–10 centimetres (1–4 inches) long, ovate and indented at the base, with jagged edges; the upper leaves are divided into three segments.

[2] Compound umbels of yellow flowers bloom atop the stems from May to July.

[2] Zizia aptera can be found throughout southern Canada and much of the continental United States, though it is absent in the Southwest, the southern Great Plains, and New England.

[2] Zizia aptera is listed as endangered in Connecticut,[4] as rare in Indiana, as threatened in Michigan, and as "historical" (extirpated) in Rhode Island.
