Seseli laticalycinum (Shan Renhwa & M. L. Sheh) M. G. Pimenov

This species is used in Shanxi as a regional substitute, known as “shui fang feng,” for the traditional Chinese medicine “fang feng” (Saposhnikovia divaricata).

Two of us (Pimenov & Kljuykov, FOC 14: 130. 2005) treat this as Seseli laticalycinum.
