| Lomatium nudicale, Indian consumption plant, aka Bare-stem desert parseley. |
The flowers are yellow, and there's a patch right beside the trail, where I pass every time I visit. By early June, though, they've all gone to seed.

"The seeds were used for flavouring stews, soups, teas and tobacco. ... The plant was widely used during the last century for the treatment of 'consumption' (tuberculosis)." (Plants of Coastal British Columbia)
Hence the name.
