Aralia californica—California spikenard. I posted a picture of the plant, also known as elk clover, in bloom a while back. You can find that photo and additional information by searching my photostream. A. californica is a herbalist's dream, many concoctions are made from the species. The roots are often used as a poor man's substitute for ginseng. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA
