Detailed phylogenetic relationships, evolutionary histories and phylogeographical hypotheses are still quite rare for the many genera of Apiaceae. One of the reasons for this is that traditional generic circumscriptions based on morphology and anatomy largely failed to recognize the group as monophyletic. This is also true for apioid members of Api...
