Drought tolerant perennial similar to Arrowleaf balsamroot (B. sagittata). Showy yellow flowers bloom in early spring. Found on dry open habitats from lower elevations up into the mountains. Occurs east of the Cascade Mountains, extending down from British Columbia, through central/eastern Washington and into north central/eastern Oregon. Leaves, stems and flowers provide valuable spring forage for ungulates. Seeds eaten by birds and rodents; possible indicator of sage-grouse habitat. Good pollinator species. Distinguished from Arrowleaf balsamroot by its smaller flower heads, sandpapery leaves, and less overall hairiness. Hybridization between the two species may occur. Excellent restoration plant.
