Perennial herbaceous plants with cylindrical taproot. Stems solitary, hollow, branched in upper part, costate and pubescent in lower part, middle and upper parts glabrous, 100 – 120 cm tall and up to 15 mm ⌀ at base, covered with soft remains of sheaths and older leaves. Basal leaves with long pubescent petioles up to 25 – 30 cm long enlarged to narrow sheaths; pubescence consisting of long, decurved, acute hairs. Abaxial surface of leaves with thin pubescence, adaxial surface with sparse pubescence; leaf blades 20 – 30 cm long and 14 – 19 cm wide, obovate, pinnate or 2 - pinnate, with 3 pairs of basal segments, basal segments on petiolules 3 cm long, secondary segments with short petiolules and crenulate margin; terminal segments obovate or broadly elliptic 8 – 10 cm long and 6 – 8 cm wide, decurrent at base, with three triangular lobes; secondary segments triangular or obovate, 5 – 6 cm long and 4 – 5 cm wide, shallow tripartite, cuneate at base; stem leaves with short triangular sheaths. Terminal umbel larger than other umbels, up to 20 cm ⌀, number of rays 22 – 30, rays 4 – 9 cm long, unequal, straddling, nearly glabrous; bracts deciduous with mature fruits; number of bracteoles 4 – 6, bracteoles filiform and herbaceous. Umbellets up to 3 cm ⌀, with up to 25 flowers, peduncles nearly glabrous, thin, rounded, slightly unequal, up to 12 mm long. Mericarps homomorphic, strongly dorsally compressed, glabrous, up to 12 mm long, 7 – 8 mm wide, broadly obovate, nearly circular; carpophore bifurcate to base, calyx teeth obscure, stylopods conical, styles 1 – 1.5 mm long, decurved or curved; only primary ribs present; ribs unequal, dorsal ribs filiform, lateral ribs broadly winged, thickened, straight, with entire margin; commissure broad; secretory ducts between ribs solitary, on the end clavate, cover about 2 / 3 of mericarp’s length or more, commissural secretory ducts paired, short (about ½ of mericarp’s length), sometimes obscure; endosperm flat at commissural side.	en	Kljuykov, Eugene, Lyskov, Dmitry, Ukrainskaja, Uliana, Samigullin, Tahir, Terentieva, Elena (2021): Heracleum piliferum (Apiaceae), a new species from central Nepal.
