Name

Ligusticum L., Sp. Pl. 1: 250 (1753); Gen Pl., ed. 5: 119 (1754).

Lectotype species: Ligusticum scothicum L., Sp. Pl. 1: 250 (1753), designated by N.L. Britton & A. Brown, Ill. Fl. N.U.S. ed. 2. 2: 647 (1913), supported by Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot. 140 (1929).

Note: Zhou et al. (2020) proposed further dismantling the genus into Ligusticum s.s. composed of the type and only Ligusticum holopetalum (on WS as Tilingia holopetala (Maxim.) Kitag.), with the other species spread over a number of other clades/genera, but the necessary taxonomy has not been formally completed.
