''Peucedanum'' is a genus of
flowering plant
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (). The term angiosperm is derived from the Ancient Greek, Greek words (; 'container, vessel') and (; 'seed'), meaning that the seeds are enclosed with ...
in the carrot family,
Apiaceae
Apiaceae () or Umbelliferae is a family of mostly aromatic flowering plants named after the type genus ''Apium,'' and commonly known as the celery, carrot, or parsley family, or simply as umbellifers. It is the 16th-largest family of flowering p ...

''Peucedanum'' boasts a global presence with diverse spread of morphological features.
''Peucedanum'' species are characterized by dorsally compressed mericarps, slightly prominent dorsal ribs, narrowly winged lateral ribs, and a broad commissure.
However, the vast diversity of morphology, fruit forms, and phytochemical production makes classifying species in the Peucedanum challenging.
Historically relevant in traditional medicine, ''Peucedanum''
's taxonomic complexity arises from its extensive diversity.
''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.
These efforts hold potential for advancements in therapeutic discoveries and contribute to the ecological significance of this globally diverse genus.
Taxonomy
Recent genomic analyses have indicated ''Peucedanums non-monophyletic nature, prompting revisions in its taxonomic classification.
Once considered among the largest genera of the Apiaceae, taxonomic revisions, informed by genomic and phytochemical analyses, have reduced the estimated number of ''Peucedanum'' species to approximately 74.
Molecular phylogenetic studies have identified fifteen mutation hotspots in the ''Peucedanum'' genome, providing potential markers for accurate species classification.
Ongoing taxonomic revisions, guided by genetic insights, aim to enhance accuracy and facilitate the discovery of new ''Peucedanum'' species.

Former species
Species formerly classified as ''Peucedanum'' include:
Distribution
Spanning from Madeira to the Hawaiian islands, ''Peucedanums expansive geographical range has necessitated reclassification of African Peucedanoid species based on nuanced taxonomy incorporating genetic, morphological, habit, and seasonality considerations.
Medicinal potential
''Peucedanums medicinal significance, especially in treating antimicrobial-resistant infections, underscores the need for accurate taxonomy. Species like ''Peucedanum graveolens'', ''Peucedanum japonicum'', and ''Peucedanum ostruthium'' exhibit antimicrobial properties, suggesting potential as alternative treatments as a compliment to antibiotics in combating antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
