Afrosciadium dispersum is a member of the carrot family, Apiaceae. It is a perennial tuberous herb native to tropical mountains in South Sudan, northern Uganda, and southwestern Tanzania.[2] Afrosciadium dispersum was previously classified as Peucedanum dispersum before the genus Afrosciadium was established in 2008.[1] Afrosciadium dispersum is found between roughly 2000 to 2,500 meters above sea level, in rough grasslands or swamps. It grows to be over 2 meters tall, with a stem at least 8 millimeters in diameter at its base. It boasts flowers with small, oblong petals, roughly 2 millimeters across, of a creamy yellow color.[1]
