About 25 mature plants seen in grassy berm in park above beach and near fish ladder. Plants found in narrow strip between expanding Nootka rose and snowberry bushes and mowed zone. Gradually being crowded out by bushes. Have heard that the original Sechelt First Nation name for Sergeant Bay was the name of this plant, as Lomatium nudicaule was sought out for medicinal purposes.
