During critical investigation of the Umbelliferae in the Near East, N Africa and Europe some addi-
tional species were found to be putative relatives of Johrenia and the Peucedanum segregate
Johreniopsis. A comparative multivariate analysis of 41 species, based on 32 morphological diag-
nostic characters, revealed a revised taxonomic grouping of the species. The forgotten generic
name Dichoropetalum, typified by D. alpinum, is restored to accommodate a group of 26 SW Asian
and Mediterranean species, including species of the former genera Johreniopsis and Holandrea
(now regarded as sections), as well as some Peucedanum and Johrenia species. We recognize six
sections in Dichoropetalum, of which three are described as new. Two species of Johreniopsis,
poorly known before, are transferred to Zeravschania.Johrenia, on the contrary, is regarded as a
genus with five species only. Johrenia westii, which requires further investigation, belongs most
probably to the genus Ferulago. 28 new nomenclatural combinations are validated and lectotypes
are designated for several names.

Introduction
The critical revision of Peucedanum L. s. ampl. and related genera (tribe Peucedaneae) remains
one of the most complicated taxonomic problems in the subfamily Apioideae of the family
Umbelliferae. Despite many new data on Peucedaneae accumulated during the last decades, both
morphological and molecular, the delimitation of the genera and other supraspecific taxa is yet ur-
gently to be revised. The current inappropriate supraspecific classification of the Peucedaneae is
partly the result of gradual (clinal) character variation (like in the Ligusticum alliance), partly of
the incomplete knowledge of its members, some of which are very rare and therefore poorly in-
vestigated.
Willdenowia 37 – 2007 465
The revision of the entire Peucedaneae is a project of the more distant future since it calls for
a complete comparative study of the numerous species spread across Europe, Asia, Africa and
even Oceania. However, we believe that there is an alternative way, and that Peucedanum
s. ampl. can be divided into natural groups by successive splitting of the most divergent taxa.
In the present contribution the traditional Peucedanum sect. Palimbioidea Boiss. is critically
revised in comparison with, on the one hand, putatively related taxa mainly from the Near East,
and, on the other hand, Peucedanum s.str. (i.e. P. sect. Peucedanum). Among the former are the
genera Holandrea Reduron & al. and Johreniopsis Pimenov, described on the basis of species ear-
lier included in this section.
Research history
Some Peucedanum segregates were separated by the first author in “Flora Iranica” (Pimenov
1987). One of them is Johreniopsis, the species of which were formerly placed in P. sect. Pa-
limbioidea. The name Johreniopsis was chosen due to habitual similarity with Johrenia. During
our further investigation of the Umbelliferae from Iran, Turkey and adjacent countries of the Near
East, the close affinity of some Turkish species to Johreniopsis became more and more evident.
Later, the new genus Holandrea (Reduron & al. 1997) was segregated with three European and
Caucasian species also formerly included in P. sect. Palimbioidea. The earlier generic names
Chabraea Raf. and Schlosseria Vuk., used for some species of Holandrea, were shown to be ille-
gitimate. Carpological descriptions of two European Holandrea species (under their traditional
names in Peucedanum) were given by Kowal & Wojterska (1973). When describing recently a
new species from Anatolia, P. isauricum, Parolly & Nordt (2004) made a comparative analysis of
related Turkish species, also including some fruit characters. Fruits of other closely related spe-
cies, however, were described rather scantily.
Evidently there are some major differences between the two species groups traditionally
treated as Peucedanum sect. Peucedanum and sect. Palimbioidea, in morphology, anatomy, che-
mical constituents, chromosome numbers and DNA sequences. In the published molecular
cladograms the species of Peucedanum s.str. (P. officinale, P. morisonii, P. coriaceum, P. galli-
cum) form a clade separate from the Holandrea clade containing H. carvifolia, H. pschavica, H.
schottii and P. achaicum (Downie & al. 2000, Spalik & al. 2004). According to Valiejo-Roman &
al. (2006) Johreniopsis scoparia also belongs to the Holandrea clade, just as Zeravschania Koro-
vin is rather distant, being more similar to Demavendia Pimenov and Haussknechtia Boiss., and
the genus Leutea Pimenov, separated from Peucedanum (Pimenov 1987), is closer to Ferula L.
than to Peucedanum s.str.
Chromosome numbers in many Peucedaneae are uniform, with prevalence of x = 11. All spe-
cies of Peucedanum sect. Palimbioidea, Johrenia, Zeravschania and Johreniopsis studied up to
now are diploid with 2n= 22 (Pimenov & al. 2002). This number was found in P. sect. Peu-
cedanum too, but in this section most species are hexaploids or tetraploids (P. officinale, P.
ruthenicum, P. morisonii, P. longifolium; the last taxon, however, being variable in chromosome
numbers).
Peucedanum sect. Palimbioidea and sect. Peucedanum differ also in their secondary metabo-
lites. All species of P. sect. Peucedanum contain linear furocoumarins, their specific component
is peucedanin (3-methoxy-2-isopropyl-7H-furobenzopyran-7-on). These compounds are not iso-
lated from species of P. sect. Palimbioidea (Carbonnier & al. 1978, Hadacek 1989). On the con-
trary, in P. carvifolia and P. schottii polyacetylene compounds were found (Hadacek 1989) that
are absent in the species of P. sect. Peucedanum.
Fruits of all Peucedanum s.l. species, as well as of some related taxa, are similar in their mor-
phology, adopted for wind dispersal. They have more or less developed winged marginal ribs and
subindivisible dorsal ribs. This similarity was a basis for a broad concept of Peucedanum, but we
believe that this fruit morphological similarly is homoplasic, a view that is supported by some
minor but essential differences in the inner mericarp structure (Kowal & Wojterska 1973).
466 Pimenov & al.: Dichoropetalum, Johrenia, Zeravschania and related genera
Among other morphological characters, the degree of development of the calyx teeth is diag-
nostic: they are present in Peucedanum s.str. and absent in all other taxa regarded.
Difference in leaf morphology is considerable. Leaf laminas in Johrenia, Johreniopsis and
Peucedanum sect. Palimbioidea are pinnate, but in Peucedanum s.str. they are ternate-multisect
with geniculate rhachis and segments, which are not situated in one plane. Basal leaf segments
have long petiolules in P. sect. Peucedanum, but are sessile or subsessile in P. sect. Palimbioidea.
Petioles are in cross section usually round with central vascular bundles in sect. Peucedanum, but
are falcate with a groove on the adaxial side without central vascular bundles in sect. Palim-
bioidea. All these differences, minor and sometimes overlapping as they may be, indicate consid-
erable divergence of the two groups, sufficient to exclude P. sect. Palimbioidea from Peucedanum.
The species included in Peucedanum sect. Palimbioidea have changed since its description by
Boissier (1872). Originally the section included the “oriental” species P. chabraei, P. pshawicum
(both currently placed in Holandrea, Reduron &. al. 1997), P. alpinum (currently placed in the re-
stored genus Ormosolenia, Pimenov 1992) and P. palimbioides, whereas P. chrysanthum, P. vitti-
jugum, P. meyeri, P. depauperatum and P. scoparia (plus P. spreitzenhoferi, Boissier 1888) were
attributed to the yellow-flowered group of section “Eupeucedana” (= P. sect. Peucedanum). Thel-
lung (1926) adopted P. sect. Palimbioidea within subg. Peucedanum, comprising the species P.
carvifolia and P. schottii, Shishkin (1951) adopted it with the species P. schottii, P. podolicum, P.
pschawicum and P. palimbioides. Frey (1989) followed mainly Thellung, whose classification he
regarded as the most practical; in Frey’s partial revision of P. sect. Peucedanum and Palimbioidea
the latter includes eight species (P. oligophyllum, P. aequiradium, P. carvifolia, P. schottii, P. gra-
minifolium, P. paucifolium, P. stridii, P. lavrentiadis).
Johrenia was described by Candolle (1829) based on J. dichotoma DC. Later Dichorope-
talum Fenzl, based on D. alpinum Fenzl, was described (Fenzl 1842) but soon after sunk by its
author into the synonymy of Johrenia (Fenzl 1843) and then forgotten. The basis for the modern
Johrenia taxonomy was laid by Boissier (1844, 1872), who placed 10 species (one of them in
question) in Johrenia, and divided them into two informal groups. The first (“vittae jugales ex-
teriores intra marginem spongiosum occultatae”) contains six species (J. selinoides, J. dichoto-
ma, J. fungosa, J. graeca, J. alpina and J. berytea). The second group was again subdivided into
two subgroups, each monotypic, with the species J. candollei and J. platycarpa, respectively.
Drude (1897-98) maintained Boissier’s classification of the genus, while erroneously adding the
Siberian Phlojodicarpus Turcz. to it. Bornmüller (1930) compiled a synopsis of the Johrenia
species and included descriptions of some new species, among which J. polyscias is adopted in
today’s floras. Tamamschjan (1951) demonstrated that Boissier’s main groups differ in fruit ana-
tomical features and recognized these groups in the rank of sections. She also showed that some
species were mistaken for Johrenia and actually belong to Ledebouriella H. Wolff, the present
Saposhnikovia Schischk. Currently, in Johrenia 36 validly published names or combinations are
known (Mozaffarian 2003, IPNI 2006).
Material and methods
43 species of Johrenia, Johreniopsis and Peucedanum from SW Asia, the S European and N Af-
rican Mediterranean and adjacent parts of Europe, as well as of the related genus Zeravschania
were included in our comparative morphological study (Table 1). Besides the species previously
included in P. sect. Palimbioidea (cf. Thellung 1926, Shishkin 1951, Frey 1988) we added to our
set (1) the N African P. munbyi Boiss., which is similar in habit to P. carvifolia and was de-
scribed (Boissier 1854) as closely related to P. chabraei, and (2) the Greek endemic P. achaicum
Halacsy, implicitly regarded as a P. carvifolia relative (Tutin 1968). The names of species, ini-
tially adopted in the present study, are presented in the left column of Table 1, their essential syn-
onyms, as used in literature, in the second column. The plant material, including types for most
species, was studied in ANK, B, BEI, BM, E, G, JE, K, L, LE, LIV, MANCH, MW, P, TARI, W
and WU (herbarium abbreviations according to Holmgren & Holmgren 1998-).

The phenetic analyses include cluster analysis (UPGMA) and principal components analysis
(PCA) conducted by means of the NTSYSpc package for Windows (Rohlf 1994). The resulted
rectangular data matrix is shown in Table 2. Some data are missing, mainly for a few species
poorly represented in the available collections. For a principal components analysis (of charac-
ters and species) these missing character states were replaced by means for each character.
Characters. – The species were investigated in 33 selected morphological characters. The selec-
tion includes previously known diagnostic characters, additional carpological and other charac-
ters used in our previous revisions of complex taxonomic groups in the Umbelliferae (Kljuykov
& al. 2004). Among the characters 11 are vegetative and 22 reproductive, including 12 fruit char-
acters. The fruit structure of the species included in the present investigation is illustrated in Fig.

winged, triangular = 0.75; winged, thin = 1.
25. Mericarps (on commissural side): with destroyed parenchyma near carpophore = 0; com-
missural parenchyma not destroyed = 1.
26. Parenchyma cells with lignified pitted walls on dorsal mericarp side: developed = 0; absent

Results
Characters. – Principal components analysis represents in plot form correlations between the
distribution of character states within the set of taxa. Projection of character points onto a plot of
1 and 2 principal components (Fig. 1) shows different similarity among characters; the majority
of them are low-correlated, although there are a few groups of highly correlated characters (13
and 30; 26 and 29; 15, 16 and 27; 6 and 28). Overall information from characters within each
such group is lower than the sum of information from independent characters. This character cor-
relation influences the species coordinates in the components analysis, and is not taken into con-
sideration in the cluster analysis.
Taxa excluded. – Two species are to be excluded from further discussion of the Johrenia-Johrenio-
psis-Zeravschania taxonomic complex. These are Johrenia porteri Boiss. and J. westii Post.
Johrenia porteri is a poorly known species. We have studied two sheets in G, including one
to be treated most probably as the holotype (an isotype is kept in BEI). This type material does
not allow to include the species in the comparative analysis. The collection at G is represented by
a part of the inflorescence with compact umbels and immature fruits. A picture of radical pinnate
leaves is attached to the type sheet, but its origin is unclear. In B we found an additional sheet
(“Kurd Dagh, 11.4.1893”), collected and determined by G. Post, with a rosette of radical leaves,

similar to the above mentioned picture. Similar and more complete material of this gathering ex-
ists in BEI. Collected after the publication of the species, this material is not relevant for
typification and may even represent another species. Bornmüller (1930) proposed to attribute
this gathering to Pimpinella saxifraga, an attribution we doubt, but another Pimpinella species,
P. corymbosa, may be a good match. In G is another sheet (“Ravine frais de Froulok- Bassit (Al-
neto-Platanetum). 23.7.1955, Pabot”), which is in some characters similar to and was treated by
Mouterde (1970) as J. porteri. It has almost mature fruits, with slightly inflated marginal ribs,
one of the diagnostic characters of Johrenia. A more careful investigation of Pabot’s gatherings
showed, however, some differences from the type material of J. porteri. For instance, they have
well developed filiform deflexed bractlets exceeding the umbellule and the umbellules are not
compact but have considerably longer rays and peduncles. The radical leaves, although pinnate,
differ in outline and have longer teeth. It seems possible that this collection is identical or very
close to the newly described Peucedanum longibracteolatum Parolly & Nordt (2005). Therefore,
at present we cannot attribute J. porteri to Johrenia or to any other genus regarded in this analy-
sis. One possible solutions is an attribution of the generative shoots, kept in BEI and G, to Peuce-
danum junceum (see below under Dichoropetalum junceum), and the vegetative rosettes collected
later (B and BEI), to Pimpinella corymbosa, both species being distributed in the locus classicus
of J. porteri. If so, it would be no surprise that there are no more collections of the species. Nev-
ertheless, search for similar plants and collecting of more complete material at the type and
nearby localities is desirable.
Johrenia westii clearly differs from all investigated species in its fruit secretory system, con-
sisting of numerous comparatively small vittae, arranged cyclically. Among platyspermous Um-
belliferae of the region a similar fruit structure is observed only in the species of Ferulago. Well
developed bracts of J. westii are another character, unusual in the present set of species, and pe-
culiar for Ferulago. The vascular system of the mericarps of J. westii is rather unusual for
Apioideae, consisting of several separate groups of vessels; a similar structure has been observed
in Ferulago. The species has, however, umbels with 2-3 rays, whereas all local Ferulago species
have more umbel rays.
In Table 2 some species completely match other species (Johrenia berytea is apparently con-
specific with Peucedanum depauperatum and Johreniopsis oligactis with Zeravschania paucira-
diata). After the exclusion of Johrenia porteri, J. westii, J. berytea and Johreniopsis oligactis,
the final matrix of 41 species and 33 characters was processed.
Main groups of taxa. – Cluster analysis of the data matrix made in the UPGMA modification
(Fig. 2) allows to outline some main groups in our material. The relationships were further eluci-
dated by PCA. The first three factors were excluded on the basis of the character correlation ma-
trix. The character factor loadings were used to produce projections of OTUs in the three-factor
(Fig. 3) and two-factor space. All in all, three two-factor plots were obtained, including the one
reproduced in Fig. 4.
In both analyses, three distinct main groups were revealed, one consisting of several subgroups:
1.1. Holandrea carvifolia, H. schottii, H. pshawica, Peucedanum alpigenum, P. oligophyllum,
P. achaicum, P. graminifolium, P. isauricum, P. munbyi;
1.2. P. lavrentiadis, P. stridii;
1.3. Johrenia alpina, J. berytea, Peucedanum depauperatum, P. junceum, Johrenia aurea;
1.4. Johrenia golestanica, Johreniopsis scoparia, Johrenia platycarpa, J. ramosissima;
1.5. Johrenia aromatica, J. paucijuga;
1.6. Johreniopsis seseloides, Peucedanum vittijugum, P. chryseum, P. minutifolium, P. palim-
bioides;
2. Johrenia dichotoma, J. selinoides, J. polyscias, J. tortuosa, J. distans;
3. Johreniopsis oligactis, Zeravschania pauciradiata, Z. membranacea, Z. regeliana, Johreni-
opsis stricticaulis, Zeravschania ferulifolia, Z. scabrifolia, Z. aucheri, Peucedanum knappii.
Willdenowia 37 – 2007 475
Discussion
In the plot of the first three principal components (Fig. 3) and in the biplot of components 1 and 2
(Fig. 4) three groups are clearly distinguished.
Group 2, corresponding to Johrenia s.str., is clearly separated also in the biplot of compo-
nents 2 and 3 (not shown).
Group 3, containing the type of Zeravschania, Z. regeliana, should be interpreted as slightly
enlarged Zeravschania. It is clearly separated from the remaining species also in the biplot of
components 1 and 3 (not shown).
Group 1 (with subgroups 1.1-1.6) is a polymorphic taxon of the same rank as groups 2 and 3,
for which generic rank seems most appropriate. It contains the species that provide the types of
five generic names: (1) Chabraea Raf. 1840 (type: C. carvifolia (Vill.) Raf. Peucedanum car-
vifolia Vill. Holandrea carvifolia (Vill.) Reduron & al.), non Adans. 1763, (2) Dichoropetalum
Fenzl 1842 (type: D. alpinum Fenzl Johrenia alpina (Fenzl) Fenzl), (3) Schlosseria Vuk. 1857
(type: S. chabraei Schloss. & Vuk. Peucedanum carvifolia Holandrea carvifolia), non Steud.
1841, (4) Johreniopsis Pimenov 1987 (type: J. seseloides (C. A. Mey.) Pimenov), and (5) Holan-
drea Reduron & al. 1997 (type: H. carvifolia (Vill.) Reduron & al.). Among these names, Cha-
braea Raf. and Schlosseria Vuk. are illegitimate as later homonyms (Reduron & al. 1997).
Priority has Dichoropetalum Fenzl, based on D. alpinum, which in our classification belongs to
group 1.3. The generic names Johreniopsis and Holandrea provide later synonyms. Dichoro-
petalum can be clearly divided into six subgroups, which we treat here as sections.

corresponds to the Peucedanum fruit type. J.-P. Reduron kindly informed us that herbarium mate-
rial of this species is probably lost. The species description by Besser of Peucedanum schottii was
published in Candolle’s “Prodromus” and the origin “In Vohlynia & Podolia” apparently refers to
a plant cultivated in the botanical garden at Kiew, because P. schottii is not distributed in the
Ukraine and adjacent countries, where only P. carvifolia occurs.

Distribution. – Turkey: N (Pontic) Anatolia. Known only from the type gathering.
Note. – This species was regarded by Chamberlain (1972) and Frey (1989) as a synonym of Peu-
cedanum carvifolia. The large disjunction between Lazistan and the European area of Dicho-
ropetalum carvifolia casts doubt on their conspecifity, especially as Boissier (1872) showed at
480 Pimenov & al.: Dichoropetalum, Johrenia, Zeravschania and related genera
least three differences between these species. Although the type material is scanty, some of these
differences can be confirmed. As no similar species are known in adjacent territories (the nearest is
D. pshawicum from the Main Caucasian Ridge), specific distinction of D. alpigenum is very prob-
able. Further search for the species seems to be necessary.

The position of this group of two species in Dichoropetalum remains unstable. Some small
changes in the coding of the character states can produce a grouping, in which sect. Parajohrenia
is joined with Johrenia, as its most distant fragment. Such treatment might be nearer to traditional
taxonomy of the two species, but contradicts their character set.

502 Pimenov & al.: Dichoropetalum, Johrenia, Zeravschania and related genera
... The genus Dichoropetalum Fenzl (1842: 17) comprises about 40 species worldwide (Kljuykov et al. 2015, 2019, Bilgili et al. 2016, Ӧzbek et al. 2016. Turkey, with about 17 species (Pimenov et al. 2007, Hand 2011, Pimenov & Kljuykov 2011, Bilgili et al. 2016, Ӧzbek et al. 2016, is the center of diversity of the genus; however, species of Dichoropetalum are distributed over a large area from Spain to Afghanistan, and one species occurs in North Africa. The genus was recently resurrected by Pimenov et al. (2007), who placed 26 species in it and assigned six sections within the genus. ...

Turkey, with about 17 species (Pimenov et al. 2007, Hand 2011, Pimenov & Kljuykov 2011, Bilgili et al. 2016, Ӧzbek et al. 2016, is the center of diversity of the genus; however, species of Dichoropetalum are distributed over a large area from Spain to Afghanistan, and one species occurs in North Africa. The genus was recently resurrected by Pimenov et al. (2007), who placed 26 species in it and assigned six sections within the genus. Those authors included in the genus species previously attributed to the genera Peucedanum Linnaeus (1753: 245), Johrenia Candolle (1829: 54), and Johreniopsis Pimenov (1987: 454). ...
... During fieldwork in Iran 2018 and 2019, the first author of this article collected in Lorestan Province unknown specimens of Dichoropetalum, which did not match any previously described species. After thorough investigation of relevant literature (Pimenov 1987, Pimenov et al. 2007, Kljuykov et al. 2019 and comparisons with specimens from the herbaria MW, LE, K, and TARI, we conclude that those Dichoropetalum specimens belong to an undescribed species. In order to determine the taxonomic position of the new species, we undertook morphological, carpological, and molecular studies of these specimens. ...

A new species, Dichoropetalum viarium (Apiaceae), is described from the Lorestan Province, Western Iran. The new species differs from D. paucijugum, D. aromaticum, and D. chryseum in the height, shape, diameter, and branching of the stem, shape of the terminal leaf lobes, shape of the bracteoles, shape and size of the mericarps, and shape of the stylopodium. In addition, D. viarium is recognized as a separate species by molecular analysis of nrITS.
... Zeravschania minjanensis (Rechinger in Køie & Rechinger 1963: 88) Rechinger (1987: 461) originally described in the genus Eleutherospermum Koch (1842: 365) was also included in this genus. In the taxonomic revision of the genus Dichoropetalum Fenzl (1842: 17) (Pimenov et al. 2007), two other species were attributed to Zeravschania, namely Z. stricticaulis (Rechinger 1941: 258) Pimenov & Kljuykov in Pimenov et al. (2007 and Z. knappii (Bornmüller 1910: 121) Pimenov & Kljuykov in Pimenov et al. (2007. Later Pimenov & Kljuykov (2013) described two more species: Z. kopetdaghensis Pimenov & Kljuykov (2013: 28) and Z. latifolia Pimenov & Kljuykov (2013: 26) from Turkmenistan and Afghanistan, respectively. ...
... During fieldwork in Iran 2019, the first author of this article collected in Mazandaran Province an unknown specimen of Zeravschania, which did not match any previously described species. After a thorough investigation of relevant literature (Pimenov 1987, 1988, Pimenov et al. 2007, Kljuykov et al. 2019 and comparisons with specimens from the herbaria E, G, K, LE, M, MW, and TARI, we conclude that this specimen belongs to an undescribed species. In order to determine the taxonomic position of the new species, we undertook both morphological and molecular studies: the absence of mature fruits urged us to use molecular methods to understand the relationships of this species. ...
Article
A new species, Zeravschania sola (Apiaceae), is described from the Mazandaran Province, Northern Iran. The new species is recognized by molecular phylogenetic analysis of nrITS as closely related to Z. khorasanica and Z. minjanensis. At the same time, it differs from the above-mentioned species in the stem height and diameter at the base, shape of sheaths, leaf blades size, primary and terminal segments of leaves, and umbel size.
... Pimenov] endemic to Iran and Turkmenistan. Zeravschania includes nine species distributed in Iran, eastern Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (Hedge et al. 1987;Mozaffarian 2007;Pimenov et al. 2007). Demavendia and Zeravschania possess similar membranous bracts and bracteoles and differ by their leaf shape (Hedge et al. 1987). ...
... Zeravschania, as circumscribed currently, includes nine species in SW Asia (Pimenov et al. 2007). It was originally described as a monotypic genus from the western Pamir-Alai mountains in Central Asia (Korovin 1948). ...

Previous molecular phylogenetic investigations of Apiaceae tribe Pimpinelleae have focused primarily on its largest genus Pimpinella and its closest allies. The monophyly and phylogenetic placements of five Iranian genera of the tribe have not been addressed sufficiently (Aphanopleura, Demavendia, Haussknechtia, Psammogeton, and Zeravschania). To examine relationships, a nrDNA ITS matrix including 169 accessions representing 49 genera of Apiaceae (including 10 Iranian taxa not analyzed previously) and a cpDNA rps16 matrix containing 37 accessions representing 24 genera of the family, representing the greatest sampling to date of the aforementioned genera, were subjected to phylogenetic analyses using Bayesian inference and maximum parsimony methods. The trees obtained showed a close affinity among the examined species of Aphanopleura, Psammogeton and several species of Trachyspermum. Neither Aphanopleura nor Psammogeton resolved as monophyletic, and A. leptoclada allied with Pimpinella. The genera Demavendia, Haussknechtia and Zeravschania also comprised a well-supported clade, with Demavendia and Haussknechtia (in the ITS trees) arising from within a paraphyletic Zeravschania. To recognize monophyletic genera, one new combination is proposed in Pimpinella and six new combinations are proposed in Psammogeton. A broader circumscription of Zeravschania to include Demavendia and Haussknechtia may also be warranted, but must await further study.
... Peucedanum sensu lato, distributed in Eurasia and Africa, is one of the most taxonomically complex groups in the Apiaceae (Pimenov and Leonov 1993). Based on morphological and molecular studies, the genus is now reduced to P. officinale L. and a few other species, and several distinct genera are recognized (i.e., Reduron et al. 1997;Spalik et al. 2004;Pimenov et al. 2007;Pimenov and Ostroumova 2012;Lei et al. 2022). ...

Archaeological areas often become hotspots for biodiversity and refugia for plant species. The management activity of a site permits the conservation of natural habitats. This first contribution to the floristic assessment of an Iranian archaeological site, aims to preserve its natural values. The Pasargadae World Heritage Site (6th century BC) located at the border between the Zagros mountains and the Irano-Turanian region, showed a richness of 244 species, belonging to 38 families and 163 genera. The most represented families are Asteraceae (56), Poaceae (34), and Fabaceae (22). Herbaceous species represented 90% of the flora [therophytes (42%), hemicryptophytes (39%), and geophytes (9%)]. Asiatic, Irano-Turanian, and Mediterranean species are the most recurrent species with a high component of endemic ones. Astragalus ghashghaicus, Taraxacum plicatulum, Acantholimon serotinum, and Linaria farsensis were among the more interesting floristic elements. The comparison with past data, even if limited in quantity, indicated a good floristic conservation status. This research also showed the need to deepen our knowledge of the taxonomic features of this Iranian flora, sometimes still resulting in an ambiguous or unresolved status. The collected floristic data will help in elaborating management protocols, to enhance the cultural and natural value of the site.
... lediglich für eine überwiegend vorderasiatisch verbreitete Gruppe von Arten, zu der in Deutschland nur der kümmelblatt-Haarstrang zählt, konnte inzwischen mit morphologischen und molekularbiologischen methoden überzeugend eine verwandtschaftlich große Ferne zu den übrigen Arten nachgewiesen werden. Die schaffung der Gattung Holandrea war übereilt; vielmehr zählt die heimische Art zur Gattung Dichoropetalum (Pimenov & al. 2007). Das von italienischen Autoren (BAnFi & al. 2011) erneut verwendete epitheton "carvifolium-chabraei" halten wir -offenbar zusammen mit allen(?) außeritalienischen kollegen -für eine Fehlinterpretation. ...

The Ferluago W.D.J. Koch genus includes 48 accepted perennial herbs that are distributed in the Mediterranean region, Southeast Europe, Central and Middle East of Asia. These plants are widely used in folk and conventional medicine due to their biological benefits such as anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immunomodulatory properties. Conducting a comprehensive review based on the structure activity relationships (SARs) of the coumarins, which has not been previously documented, can lead to a better insight into the genus Ferulago and its beneficial therapeutic activities. This review covers literature from 1969 to 2023, were collected from various scientific electronic databases to review phytochemical, pharmacological, and ethnopharmacological data of Ferulago species, as well as latest information on the SAR of reported coumarins from this genus. Phytochemical studies showed that the biological actions of this genus are mediated by the reported specialized metabolites, such as coumarins and flavonoids. Simple coumarins, prenylated coumarins, furanocoumarins, and pyranocoumarins are the largest subclasses of coumarins found in diverse Ferulago species, which have discussed the biological effects of them with a focus on the Structure–Activity Relationship (SAR). For example, prenylated coumarins have shown potential leishmanicidal and anti-neuropsychiatric effects when substituted with a prenyl group at the 7-hydroxy, as well as the C6 and C8 positions in their scaffold. Similarly, furanocoumarins exhibit varied biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, and anti-convulsant effects. Modifying substitutions at the C5 and C6 positions in furanocoumarins can enhance these activities. This study conducted a comprehensive review of all available information on the phytochemical and pharmacological characteristics of Ferulago species. Given the high occurrence of coumarins in this genus, which exhibit potential anti-Alzheimer and anti-microbial properties, it presents promising new therapeutic avenues for addressing these common issues. Further investigation is needed to understand the molecular-level mechanisms of action and to explore their clinical applications.

Acanthamoeba are amoebas that are widely found in nature. Some species of Acanthamoeba are qualified as pathogens and, as a result, can infect humans in various ways. Acanthamoeba Keratitis, which leads to blindness, can result in Granulomatous Amoebic Encephalitis with a fatal course in the brain and secondarily different infections. During these infections, it has to fight macrophages in phagocytosis or with Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) produced by inflammation. ROS is involved in cell signaling and homeostasis. The iron superoxide dismutase present in Acanthamoeba both protects itself from oxidative stress and the immune effector cells of the host may play a role in the survival of Acanthamoeba by detoxifying the oxidative killing of the parasite. In recent studies, it has been reported that SOD activity is high in the pathogen Acanthamoeba. It is known that the drugs used to treat Acanthamoeba are still not very effective. In this study, antimicrobial effective compounds were investigated in line with the studies included in the PubMed database. The interactions between these compounds and FeSOD (Iron superoxide dismutase), which is thought to play a role in the pathogenicity of Acanthamoeba, were studied in silico. For this purpose, 25 compounds were downloaded from the PubChem database and molecular docking was performed with FeSOD (PDB ID: 6J55), Autodock Vina embedded Chimera 1.15 software. Accordingly, the 3 compounds with the lowest energy and the highest scores were taken as a basis. The compounds with the best binding are, Ellagic acid, Carnosol and Episorosmanol respectively. These compounds were also compared with the positive control of Chlorhexidine. According to the results of In silico, these compounds are promising in terms of the potential to be converted into drugs. However, more detailed studies of these compounds, in vitro and in vivo, are needed.

Comparative sequencing of the two internal transcribed spacer regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA was carried out to examine evolutionary relationships among representatives of Old World Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) subfamily Apioideae. Emphasis was placed on delimiting groups within the previously designated apioid superclade and clarifying relationships within and among the peucedanoid genera Angelica, Ferula, Heracleum, and Peucedanum. These spacer data, and those obtained from the chloroplast rps16 intron for a subset of the taxa, also enabled hypotheses on the phylogenetic placement of several narrowly distributed endemic species. The monophyly of Drude's tribe Echinophoreae is confirmed and it is sister to the Socotran endemic genera Nirarathamnos and Rughidia; the Balearic Islands endemic genus Naufraga allies with Apium graveolens; tribes Careae and Pyramidoptereae are recognized formally to be the previously designated clades 'Aegopodium' and 'Crithmum'; and tribes Oenantheae and Scandiceae are each expanded to include two species of Apium, previously attributable to Helosciadium, and four species of Ferula, respectively. Within the apioid superclade, five major lineages are recognized that are consistent with an available molecular evidence: tribe Echinophoreae, the clades 'Pimpinella' and 'Heracleum,' and the more narrowly circumscribed clades 'Angelica' and 'Apium.' Angelica and Ferula each comprise at least two lineages; Heracleum is polyphyletic if Heracleum candicans is retained in the genus; and Peucedanum is distributed in three well-separated clades with some species allied with those species of Angelica referred to Xanthogalum.
