Siskiyou mountain woodland star is a California native perennial found in the Klamath Ranges, northern Coast Ranges, northern California Ranges, and northern Sierra Nevada at elevations of 500 to 2,500 meters in shady, well-drained slopes.

Its basal leaves are distinctively three to five-lobed with relatively sharp teeth, creating an intricate leafy foundation.
