- 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.
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.
Cleavers have a single square stem with bristly edges and frequently form mats over taller plants. The foliage develops regular whorls along the stem forming circular rosettes of six to eight leaves. Their tiny white flowers are star-shaped.
Elder is an oppositely-branched shrub growing up to twelve feet tall. The stems are long and slender with a soft light-tan to orange-brown pith inside. The rough bark is grayish-brown to black. Because courtship flutes were fashioned from the stems, Elder is known as the "Tree of Music" among some Shoshoni tribes. The flowers of the Elder are small and cream colored and are borne in dense rounded umbels. The round dark blue or black berries appear in the autumn. The Elder is found on moist sites, mostly at elevations of 2,000 to 5,000 feet.
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.

Cautions
- 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.
Some people have experienced rashes as a side effect of Lomatium. Should this happen, discontinue use. The rash normally clears up in one to five days.
Red Clover extracts are considered safe for continuous long-term use.
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.
