Taxonomy

Lomatium donnellii was first described in 1888 by John Merle Coulter and Joseph Nelson Rose as Peucedanum donnellii. In 1900, they transferred it to Lomatium . [4] In 1889, they described Peucedanum plummerae, which they also transferred to Lomatium in 1900. [5] As of August 2021, Plants of the World Online considers Lomatium plummerae and its variety helleri to be synonyms of Lomatium donnellii. [1] In addition, the Jepson eFlora considers L. plummerae var. austiniae and var. sonnei to be synonyms of Lomatium donnellii, [6] whereas Plants of the World Online considers them synonyms of Lomatium austiniae .
