The difference between white flower peucedanum and hairy peucedanum

1. The difference between leaves

The basal leaves of Peucedanum leucoderma have long petioles, which can be up to 15 cm long, and have ovate-lanceolate leaf sheaths at the base. The leaf shape is triangular-ovate or broadly ovate in outline.

Peucedanum has fewer basal leaves, and its petioles are slightly shorter than the former, about 10 cm, and the leaf sheaths at the base are wider. The leaf shape is triangular-ovate in outline.

2. The difference between flowers

The inflorescence of Peucedanum leucoderma is a compound cyme, which is large in number and usually grows at the top or side. There are no bracts or there are 1 to several bracts, which are linear. The petals are oval in shape, white in color, and the ligules are slightly curved inwards.

The inflorescence of Peucedanum is a compound cyme, but is usually branched into a corymbose form. There are 6-8 bracts, which are linear-lanceolate. The petals are inverted heart-shaped and the color is the same as the former, white.
