竹叶西风芹(原变种) zhu ye xi feng qin (yuan bian zhong)

Peucedanum bupleuriforme H. Wolff; P. bupleuroides H. Wolff.

Leaf blade trifoliolate or 2-ternately dissected.

Open woodlands, sunny mountain slopes, grassy places; 1200–3200 m. NW Guangxi (Longlin), SW Guizhou (Xingren), SW Sichuan (Liangshan, Xichang), Yunnan [N Thailand].

The leaf dissection is very variable across the geographic range, and two of us (Pimenov and Kljuykov) prefer to treat this variety and the preceding species as one polymorphic species under the name S. yunnanense. Further work is needed to clarify this complex situation. See also the taxonomic note under var. simplicifolium below.
