Kozlovia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae. [1]
Its native range is Afghanistan to Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) and Pakistan. [1]
The genus name Kozlovia is in honour of Pyotr Kozlov (1863–1935), a Russian and Soviet traveller and explorer who continued the studies of Nikolai Przhevalsky in Mongolia and Tibet. [2] The genus was first described in 1904 by the botanist Vladimir Ippolitovich Lipsky. [1]
A 2001 study using ribosomal DNA found that Neoconopodium , Krasnovia and Kozlovia were closely related within tribe Scandiceae subtribe Scandicinae, and proposed that they be combined into Kozlovia. [3] As of December 2022 [update] , this proposal had been accepted by the Germplasm Resources Information Network, [4] but not by Plants of the World Online. [1]
