Sanicula hoffmannii is an uncommon species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae known by the common names Hoffmann's blacksnakeroot[1] and Hoffmann's sanicle. It is endemic to California, where it is known from the Channel Islands and a few locations in the coastal mountain ranges of the mainland, including the Scott Creek watershed in Santa Cruz County.[2] Its habitat includes coastal hillsides and mountain slopes, sometimes with serpentine soils. It is a perennial herb producing a thick stem up to 90 centimeters tall from a taproot. The green or bluish leaves are compound, the blades each divided into about three lobed, toothed leaflets. The inflorescence is made up of one or more of bisexual and male-only flowers with tiny, curving, yellow-green petals.
