Neoconopodium is a genus of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to Pakistan and the western Himalayas. [2] It may be subsumed into the genus Kozlovia . [3]

Contents

Taxonomy

The genus was first described in 1987 by M. G. Pimenov and E. V. Kljuyko. [1] They treated a subgeneric taxon of Conopodium , Neoconopodium, first described by Boris Koso-Poljansky in 1916, as the basionym. Their genus Neoconopodium was distinguished from Anthriscus , Chaerophyllum , Krasnovia and Butinia (now included in Conopodium) based on seed characters. [4] 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, this proposal had been accepted by the Germplasm Resources Information Network, [5] but not by Plants of the World Online. [2]
