Redefined generic limits ofCarum (Umbelliferae, Apioideae)and new systematic placement of some of its taxa

A taxonomic study of the genus Hellenocarum H.Wolff (Umbelliferae-Apioideae)based on morphology, fruit anatomy, and molecular data

“…The molecular results presented herein support earlier conclusions by Wolff (1927), Engstrand (1973), and Kljuykov (1985) in segregating Hellenocarum from Carum. The separation of Hellenocarum from Carum was also revealed in the molecular phylogenetic studies of Papini et al (2007), Degtjareva et al (2009), andZakharova et al (2012), although only H. multiflorum was considered in each of these studies.…”

“…This alignment included 46 ITS sequences from 19 genera, representing not only Hellenocarum, Bunium, and Carum, but also other representatives from Apiaceae tribes Pyramidoptereae and Careae that were sampled in earlier studies (Papini et al, 2007;Degtjareva et al, 2009;Downie et al, 2010;Zakharova et al, 2012). Data for the 5.8S region were unavailable for many previously published sequences; thus, they were not included in the analysis.…”

“…ITS sequences from single accessions of Carum depressum, Hellenocarum amplifolium, H. multiflorum, H. pisidicum, and H. strictum were obtained and used to modify the alignment of Zakharova et al (2012). This alignment included 46 ITS sequences from 19 genera, representing not only Hellenocarum, Bunium, and Carum, but also other representatives from Apiaceae tribes Pyramidoptereae and Careae that were sampled in earlier studies (Papini et al, 2007;Degtjareva et al, 2009;Downie et al, 2010;Zakharova et al, 2012).…”

“…They also reported that further sampling in Bunium and allied genera is necessary to ascertain if C. heldreichii is to be assigned to Hellenocarum, or if both H. multiflorum and C. heldreichii should be transferred into Bunium. Extended taxonomic sampling of Bunium and allied genera of tribe Pyramidoptereae using ITS and plastid psbA-trnH intergenic spacer sequences showed that Hellenocarum multiflorum does not ally closely with Carum heldreichii (Degtjareva et al, 2009;Zakharova et al, 2012). Instead, H. multiflorum comprises a single lineage sister group to a clade containing Bunium section Bunium, which includes the type species, Bunium bulbocastanum L. Based on these molecular systematic investigations, Hellenocarum is now generally accepted as a distinct genus of Umbelliferae (Hand, 2011).…”
