Taxonomy

The genus was first described by Alexander von Bunge in 1845.[3] A 2021 molecular phylogenetic study suggested that it is sister to rest of the family Apiaceae, and so does not belong to any of the four subfamilies into which the family is divided. It has been suggested that it could be placed in a subfamily of its own.[4]
