Lomatium Cous
Lomatium cous is a perennial herb of the family Apiaceae. The root is prized as a food by the tribes of the southern plateau of the Pacific Northwest. Meriwether Lewis collected a specimen in 1806 while on his expedition. It is called x?aws in the Sahaptin language, and qaamsit and qaaws in the Nez Perce language |
