Ferula licentiana var. tunshanica is endemic to eastern China, i.e., Anhui Province, Jiangsu and Shandong Provinces. It occurs in the wet meadows or stone slopes at altitudes between 100 and 200 m. This variety is distinguished from var. licentiana by the plant height 60–120 cm (vs. 120–180 cm in var. licentiana ), rays 3–7 (vs. 7–11) and 15–30 mm long (vs. 30–50 cm), and vittae 1–3 in each furrow and 4–6 on commissure. In addition, the karyotype and isozyme zymogrames of this variety is distinct from the typical variety ( Liu et al. 1987, 1993).
