4E3E87B2FFF30701FF392C04FC15FD1F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: — Ligusticopsis miyiensis is most similar to five validated Ligusticopsis species, being Ligusticopsis capillacea, Ligusticopsis hispida, Ligusticopsis modesta, Ligusticopsis scapiformis and Ligusticopsis brachyloba. However, Ligusticopsis miyiensis differed from them in having 2 - pinnate leaf blades, ultimate segments of leaves lanceolate, bracts and bracteoles mainly linear, entire, with membranous margins, calyx teeth subulate, and mericarps oblong.	en	Lei, Jia-Qing, Cai, Jing, Zhou, Song-Dong, He, Xing-Jin (2023): Ligusticopsis miyiensis (Apioideae, Apiaceae), a new combination from China revealed by morphological and molecular evidence.
