Flowers which are similar to a carrot, are white, small and in clusters of 8–12 and the fruit are oval-shaped. Gingidia montana occurs in crevices of basalt and trachyte rock on cliffs. It is found in moist open sites in both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. It is readily eaten by deer. | The blue-green leaves are long and are highly divided with small oval leaflets which have slightly serrated edges.
