Genera
Anethum
Dill (Anethum graveolens) is a perennial herb. It is the sole species of the genus Anethum, though classified by some botanists in a related genus as Peucedanum graveolens (L.) C.B.Clarke. [more]
Cornus
Cymbocarpum
Diplotaenia
Dorema
A Genus in the Kingdom Plantae. [more]
Ferula
Ferula (from Latin ferula, "rod") is a genus of about 170 species of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region east to central Asia, mostly growing in arid climates. They are herbaceous perennial plants growing to 1?4 m tall, with stout, hollow, somewhat succulent stems. The leaves are tripinnate or even more finely divided, with a stout basal sheath clasping the stem. The flowers are yellow, produced in large umbels. Many plants of this genus, especially F. communis are referred to as "giant fennel," although they are not fennel in the strict sense. [more]
Ferulago
Johrenia
Lomatium
Lomatium is a genus of 70 to 80 perennial herbs native to western North America. [more]
Myrrhidendron
Opopanax
A Genus in the Kingdom Plantae. [more]
Peucedanum
Peucedanum is a genus of flowering plant in the Apiaceae family. It contains the following species: [more]
Platanus
Platanus () is a small genus of trees native to the Northern Hemisphere. They are the sole living members of the family Platanaceae. [more]
Tetracarpidium
Plukenetia is a of plant of the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises 15 species, found from Africa to Malesia. [more]
Tetragonia
Tetragonia is a genus of 50-60 species of flowering plants in the family Aizoaceae, native to temperate and subtropical regions of the Southern Hemisphere, in New Zealand, Australia, southern Africa and South America. Common names include New Zealand Spinach, Kokihi (MÄori language), Warrigal Greens, Sea Spinach, Botany Bay Spinach, Duneweed (South Africa), and Cook's Cabbage. [more]
Trochodendron
Trochodendron aralioides is a flowering plant, the sole species in the genus Trochodendron. It is also often considered the sole species in the family Trochodendraceae, though some botanists include the very distinct genus Tetracentron in the same family. Trochodendron is native to southern Japan, southern Korea and Taiwan; it has no widely used common name in English, though is sometimes colloquially called "wheel tree". [more]
At least 5 species and subspecies belong to the Genus Trochodendron.
