Peucedanum multivittatum

Peucedanum multivittatum is a member of the Apiaceae family, a group of flowering plants commonly known as the carrot or parsley family. The species was formally published in 1887 by the botanist Maxim. It is geographically restricted to Japan, where it is part of the native flora. The genus Peucedanum includes a range of herbaceous plants, many of which are found in temperate regions of Europe and Asia. As with other members of the genus, Peucedanum multivittatum is likely characterized by typical Apiaceae features such as compound leaves and umbel-like inflorescences.
