Stems glabrous or nearly so, arising 3–10+ dm from the upturned end of a rhizome; lvs usually at least sparsely glandular beneath, but less so than in no. 8 [Thalictrum revolutum DC.], those below the infl petioled, those subtending the panicle-branches sessile; panicle with ascending branches; body of the achene 4–6 mm, its lower margin more convex than the upper; 2n=42. Rocky or gravelly soil, often along shores; Lab. to B.C., s. to Vt., n. N.Y., n. Mich., n. Wis., n. Minn., Wyo., and Oreg. June, July. Our plants have been distinguished on dubious grounds from typical cordilleran T. venulosum as var. confine (Fernald) B. Boivin. (T. confine)
