Zizia aptera - Heartleaf Alexanders

Apiaceae Family - "Heartleaf Alexanders, Heart-leaved Meadow Parsnip"

Zizia named in honor of German botanist, Johann Baptist Ziz and aptera from the Latin word for "having no wings".

Grows from 1 to 3 feet tall with umbels of tiny, yellow flowers blooming from April through June. Similar to Z. aurea, but basal leaves are undivided and heart-shaped at base. Prefers drier prairies than Z. aurea.

Although Z. aurea saw some medicinal uses, there are no uses cited for Z. aptera.
