It is similar in appearance to other species and subspecies of wild carrot, with umbels of white or pinkish flowers.The taproots are small, edible carrots. This is a common plant found in the southern U.S. and along the west coast of North America from Baja California to British Columbia; as an example occurrence in Baja California, D. pusillus occurs in association with Mimulus aridus and Adiantum jordanii. It should not be confused with Conium maculatum, which is highly poisonous.
