Heracleum lehmannianum is a large perennial herb in the carrot family, native to mountain regions from Afghanistan and Pakistan into Central Asia. It is a wild species rarely grown in gardens, so care is mostly generalised from its genus.
Heracleum lehmannianum is a large flowering plant species in the genus Heracleum, within the family Apiaceae. No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
The species was first formally described by Alexander von Bunge and named after Russian botanist Alexander Lehmann.
