1784年Thunberg描述并发表滨海前胡（Peucedanum japonicum Thunb.），但未明确指定模式标本。通过标本检查以及原始文献分析,依据最新的《国际藻类、菌物和植物命名法规》(深圳法规)中规则9.1和9.4，为其指定了后选模式。通过野外调查及比较《中国植物志》、《Flora of China》和《Flora of Taiwan》等文献，进一步确认滨海前胡的花色为白色。

 Peucedanum japonicum Thunb. was described and published by Thunberg in 1784， but the holotype was not explicitly designated. The lectotype of P. japonicum is designated via specimen identification and original literature reviewing, and according to “Arts. 9.1 and 9.4” of the latest International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants (Shenzhen code). The flower color of P. japonicum is further confirmed to be white via field investigation and comparison with literatures such as Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae, Flora of China and Flora of Taiwan.
