Species

Six species are accepted by Plants of the World Online as of February 2025. [1] Other studies suggested that the African and Canary Island species should be moved to other genera and that the Italian endemic Lereschia thomasii should be included in Cryptotaenia. [3] [4] In 2016 the Canary Islands endemic Cryptotaenia elegans was moved to genus Daucus as Daucus elegans . [5]
