Peucedanum is a genus of flowering plant in the carrot family, Apiaceae.[3] Peucedanum boasts a global presence with diverse spread of morphological features.[4][5] Peucedanum species are characterized by dorsally compressed mericarps, slightly prominent dorsal ribs, narrowly winged lateral ribs, and a broad commissure.[5] However, the vast diversity of morphology, fruit forms, and phytochemical production makes classifying species in the Peucedanum challenging.[6][5] Historically relevant in traditional medicine, Peucedanum's taxonomic complexity arises from its extensive diversity.[7][5]

Peucedanum's taxonomy is being reshaped by novel genomic insights, prompting ongoing revisions with promising implications for ethnopharmacological research and the broader understanding of plant biodiversity.[5] These efforts hold potential for advancements in therapeutic discoveries and contribute to the ecological significance of this globally diverse genus.
