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