Lomatium gormanii, with the common name Gorman's biscuitroot, is a perennial herb of the family Apiaceae.[1]
It is endemic to the Northwestern United States, in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (state).[1]
It is called sasamít̓a, sasamít̓aya, and łałamít̓a in the Sahaptin language. "Sometimes confused with Lomatium piperi (Sahaptin mámɨn).
Roots are generally larger and ‘hairier’ (i.e., many more rootlets) than Lomatium piperi, and it appears to grow where that species does not.[2]
