Sanicula bipinnata is a species of plant in the family Apiaceae known by the common name poison sanicle.[1] It is endemic to California where it is found in low-elevation mountains and foothills, especially in the hills along the coast. It occurs in the California Coastal Range and Sierra Nevada foothills,[2] including Ring Mountain, California.[3]
Description
It is recognizable as a relative of the carrots and parsnips with its thin stalk topped with small umbels of yellow or cream flowers. The origin of its poisonous reputation is unknown.[4] Yet despite the name, there are no current records of its toxicity in humans, though it or a related species might be toxic to horses or other stock animals.[5] It was called Script error: No such module "Lang". by the Miwok and used to treat venomous bites from snakes, perhaps providing a reason for the common name in English. Though they used other sanicles in the same manner.[6] The Karuk called the plant Script error: No such module "Lang". and traditionally ate the young leaves as a green, indicating the toxic reputation is undeserved.[7]
