Most publications say:

"Osmorhiza longistylus - rarer form of Sweet Cicely; same taste; easier to care for"

These sources say it is O. claytoni ( similar but hairy )

http://www.westernpawildflowers.com/html...

http://www.nearctica.com/flowers/apium/O...

and these are the wild flowers.

Therefore Osmorhiza claytoni should be that one you are looking for.

Both are Apiaceae ( carrot family ).
