- Lomatium dissectum is the most robust of the desert parsley. This fern-leafed variety is highly variable and has a wide range. It grows as much as four feet tall, making it the tallest of the Lomatium. The leaves, mostly basal, are large and divided into many segments. Multiple umbels develop on a long leafless stalk with early spring flowers that vary in color from deep purple (nearly black) to pale yellow. It most frequently grows in rocky soils, particularly on talus slopes. It can often found growing among Arrowleaf Balsamroot.
Gumweed is a sticky perennial with smooth stems and averages 2' to 3' tall. The leaves are 1⁄2" to 5" long and lance-shaped with toothed margins. The 1/2" disk-shaped flower heads have outer rows of small, resinous yellow ray flowers. Gumweed is a source of grindelia, a spasmodic used commercially to stimulate the mucous membranes in the treatment of chronic bronchitis and asthma.
Red Clover, a European native, is commercially grown in the U.S. for pasturage, hay, and green manure. It is considered excellent forage for livestock and poultry. Having escaped from commercial fields this perennial is now abundant on meadow land and along rural roadsides. The plant has several stems 1 to 2 feet high, all arising from the single root. Leaves grow in groups of three and are slightly hairy with oval leaflets, end in a long point and are often lighter colored in the center. The flowers are red to purple, fragrant, and formed in dense terminal globular heads. The flower heads are gathered between May and September.
Arrowleaf Balsamroot usually grows in large stands on hillsides. It has long basal silvery-green leaves shaped like arrowheads. Early spring blooming sunflowers are bright yellow and extend past the leaves on long stems. The root of Arrowleaf Balsamroot can be quite large--weighing up to 30 pounds. When broken or bruised, the massive bark-covered root exudes a sticky, fragrant sap.

Cautions
- Some people have experienced a skin rash from the use of Lomatium. Lomatium should be taken in small doses, not exceeding seventy drops per day. If a skin rash occurs, discontinue use. The rash normally clears up in one to five days.
Gumweed can cause an allergic reaction in individuals sensitive to the Asteraceae/Compositae family (i.e. ragweed, marigolds, daisies).
Gumweed may cause upset stomach or diarrhea in some individuals. Excessive dosages can irritate the kidneys due to the herb's resins.
Excessive use of Arrowleaf Balsamroot can cause nausea. Kidney irritation can result if Arrowleaf Balsamroot is used for an extended period of time in higher than recommended dosages.
Red Clover may increase the risk of bleeding when used in conjunction with anticoagulant herbs or drugs.
Use with caution and avoid large doses if a blood coagulation disorder exists.
Large amounts of Red Clover may interfere with hormone replacement therapy or oral contraceptives.
Due to its estrogenic effects, Red Clover should be avoided in women with hormone sensitive conditions including certain cancers, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids.
Although small amounts of Red Clover are likely safe to use during pregnancy, its use is not recommended due to its estrogenic activity.
