Osmorhiza Berteroi
''Osmorhiza berteroi'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae known by the common name mountain sweet cicely. Systematics ''Osmorhiza berteroi'' forms a species complex together with '' O. depauperata'' and '' O. purpurea''. Until recently these were all treated as ''O. chilensis'', but a revision resulted in the 3 species being split, and also revealed that ''O.chilensis'', published in December 1830 by Hooker and Arnott was a junior synonym of ''O.berteroi'', published in September of the same year by De Candolle. Studies of both chloroplast and nuclear DNA confirm that the various populations of ''O.berteroi'' are monophyletic . Distribution It has an amphitropical distribution being native to both temperate parts of North and South America. In the Northern Hemisphere it is found boreal zones from Alaska to Newfoundland, extending south to South Dakota, and in mountain ranges adjacent to the Pacific coast from the Alaska panhandle to California and Ariz ...

Apioideae Genera
This is a list of genera belonging to the family Apiaceae. It contains all the genera accepted by Plants of the World Online (PoWO) . A few extra genus names are included that PoWO regards as synonyms. Unless otherwise indicated, the placement of genera into sub-taxa is based on the taxonomy used by the Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN). "Not assigned" means either that the genus is unplaced in GRIN or that it is not listed by GRIN. Not assigned to a subfamily In a 2021 molecular phylogenetic study, the ''Platysace'' clade and the genera ''Klotzschia'' and ''Hermas'' fell outside the four subfamilies. It has been suggested that they could be placed in subfamilies of their own. *''Hermas'' L. *''Klotzschia'' Cham. *''Platysace'' Bunge ;Others Subfamily Apioideae Subfamily Azorelloideae Subfamily Mackinlayoideae Subfamily Saniculoideae The NCBI Taxonomy Browser lists the tribes Saniculeae and Steganotaenieae in a separate subfamily, Saniculoide ...
