Naturalised

Morphological description

Annual herb with ramified, glabrous, slender branches. Leaves pinnate or bipinnate, sparsely divided, with acicular segments. Flowers in compound umbels, with short rays and pedicels. Bracts entire, acicular; bracteoles entire. Calyx lobes triangular. Petals white, sometimes flushed pink. Styles short, divergent. Stylopodia low-conical. Fruits transversely oblong (wider than long), glabrous, markedly ribbed; commissure narrow. Carpophores bifid. Ribs very prominent, obtuse. Rib oil ducts 5, small, invariably present.

Annual herb. Flowering stems up to 0.6 m high; erect. Leaves radical and cauline, compound; blade 3- or 4-pinnate, divided into many linear-filiform segments.

Diagnostic description

The species has been included in Apium (as Apium lepto-phyllum) but has long cotyledons (round in Apium), subrhomboidal pollen (oval in Apium) and a chromosome number of n = 7 (n = 11 in Apium). The close similarity between this species and Apium species appears to be superficial only. Morphometric studies showed that the two genera are quite distinct. The linear leaf segments and 2-3-rayed sessile umbels were used as key characters to distinguish Cyclospermum from Apium (the latter with non-linear leaflets, mostly distinct peduncles and 4-13-rayed umbels. Molecular systematic studies have confirmed the generic status for this species. From: Van Wyk, B-E; Tilney, PM; Magee, AR. 2013.
