Family:
Apiaceae
(Parsley)
Aletes tenuifolius
grows to a height of about 6-inches and has finely dissected leaves. Though not
widespread, it is easy to find in sandstone drainages along the trail to Pawnee
Buttes. Compare to Musineon divaricatum,
which has broader, less dissected leaves and is much more common.
