Description

Genus Peucedanum

Herbs perennial . Rootstock short, crown usually bearing remnant leaf sheaths . Stem finely striate , dichotomously branched above. Leaves petiolate ; petioles sheathing . Umbels loosely compound , terminal and lateral ; bracts numerous or absent; rays numerous or few; bracteoles numerous, rarely few or absent. Calyx teeth short or obsolete . Petals usually white, occasionally pinkish or purplish, rarely pale yellow, orbicular to obovate , with a narrow inflexed apex. Stylopodium low-conic. Fruit ellipsoid , oblong to suborbicular , dorsally compressed ; dorsal ribs filiform , slightly prominent , lateral ribs thickened and narrowly winged , wings closely appressed to one another; vittae 1 to several in each furrow, 2 to several on commissure . Seed face plane or slightly concave . Carpophore bipartite .

Between 100 and 200 species: Africa, Asia, Europe; 40 species (33 endemic) in China.

The taxonomy of this widespread, heterogeneous genus has long been problematic. The broad circumscription of Peucedanum adopted here includes some 100120 species from many parts of the Old World that are weakly united by basic (especially external) fruit structure. These fruit characters are undoubtedly the result of several lines of convergent evolution, and some authors prefer to recognize several segregate genera and reduce Peucedanum to only 810 Eurasian species based around the nomenclatural type, P. officinale Linnaeus.[1]
