Perideridia bacigalupii is an uncommon species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae[1] known by the common names Mother Lode yampah and Bacigalupi's perideridia.[2] It is endemic to California,[2] where it is known only from the northern and central Sierra Nevada foothills.[citation needed] It is a member of the flora in chaparral and pine woodlands.[1] It is a perennial herb which may exceed 1.5 meters in maximum height, its slender, erect stem growing from tubers.[1] Leaves near the base of the plant have blades up to 40 centimeters long which are divided into many narrow subdivided lobes.[1] Leaves higher on the plant are smaller and less divided.[citation needed] The inflorescence is a compound umbel of many spherical clusters of small white flowers.[1] These yield ribbed, oblong-shaped fruits about half a centimeter long.[1]
The plant was first described in 1969.[3] The plant's Latin and common names are for the American botanist Rimo Bacigalupi (1901–1996).
