A perennial plant of the Umbelliferae family (APG classification: Umbelliferae). It has thick roots. The stem is 40-60 cm tall. The leaves are 2-3 times tripinnate and compound (for leaf morphology, see the "compound leaf" section). White flowers bloom in April and May. The fruits are slender and 2 cm long. It commonly grows in shady marshes in the mountains and fields, and is found from Hokkaido to Kyushu, as well as the Korean Peninsula, China, Siberia, and India.
