Prionosciadium thapsoides is a plant species native to the Mexican states of Veracruz and Mexico, as well as Guatemala.[2][3][4][5]
Prionosciadium thapsoides is a biennial herb with a large taproot. Leaves are bipinnately compound, the leaflets pinnately lobed with broad obovate lobes. Flowers are white, borne in dense compound umbels at the top of the flowering stalk.[6][7][8]
Chemical studies have revealed the existence of several new dihydrofurochromones in the roots.[9]
