Rhizome creeping: lvs. pinnate, 2-3-ternately compound: scape leafless, racemose or somewhat paniculate at the summit: sepals 6, in 2 rows, obovate, petal-like, reflexed; petals 6, ligulate; stamens 6: fr. a follicle, dehiscent by a dorsal suture.—Three species, natives of the Pacific coast of N. Amer. The lvs. are somewhat like maidenhair or rue, and the fls. are rather small and white or yellow. Vancouverias demand a rich soil in rather shady positions. They are not showy plants, but have foliage of an elegant and refined type.
