LC Indigenous Endemic

Morphological description

Slender shrub, 0.5-1.0 m tall. Stem branched at ground level, branches becoming decumbent, glabrous. Leaves often congested near the base of the peduncle, (90)110-250(390) mm x 40-150 mm; blade ovate, 3-pinnate. Ultimate leaflet segments ovate, 10-30 mm x 6-15 mm, pinnatisect; base attenuate; venation pinnate; discolorous, adaxial surface green to dark green, abaxial surface silvery and glaucous; lobes narrowly oblong, flat, 3-10 mm x 0.8-1 mm, margins entire; terminal lobes equal to or 2 times longer than adjacent lateral lobes. Petioles up to 100(180) mm long, sheathing at the base only. Inflorescence long (more than two times longer than the diameter of the primary umbel), with 0-4 smaller lateral umbels. Primary umbel with 12-20 rays, orbicular; bracts linear to lanceolate, apex acuminate, glabrous; rays 46-64 mm long, subequal, glabrous; bracteoles linear to lanceolate, apex acuminate, glabrous, shorter than raylets; raylets glabrous. Flowers with sepals minute, 0.1-0.3 mm long, glabrous; petals glabrous. Fruit elliptic, 5.0-6.5 mm x 3.0-3.5 mm; mericarps homomorphic; median and lateral ribs slightly prominent; marginal ribs narrowly-winged; commissural vittae broad; vallecular vittae broad; additional vittae under vascular bundles in ribs, smaller than vallecular vittae.

Slender shrub, up to 1 m high, stems eventually decumbent. Leaves discolorous, upper surface dark green, lower surface silvery-glaucous, > (90-)110 mm long, often congested near base of peduncle, ultimate segments prominently pinnatisect or 2- or 3-sect, lobes linear. Flowers yellow. Flowering time mainly Jan. Fruit 5.0-6.5 mm long, outline elliptic, marginal wings relatively narrow; commissural vittae broad. From: Winter, PJD. 2019. Apiaceae.

Like N. tenuifolium but shrubs only up to 1 m high, branches becoming decumbent, leaves discolorous, silvery and glaucous below, leaflets often more finely dissected, peduncle long and usually branched, umbels with < 20 rays. Fruit elliptic, > 5 mm long. From: Magee, AR; Manning, JC; Van Wyk, B-E; Tilney, PM. 2012. Apiaceae: Notobubon Magee.

Diagnostic description

Notobubon sonderi is distinguishable from N. gummiferum by the long-pedunculate inflorescence which is often branched, the fewer-rayed primary compound umbel (12–20 rays), the more finely dissected leaflets as well as the smaller stature of this species with the stems becoming decumbent (see notes under N. gummiferum). Together with the previously mentioned characters it can be distinguished from N. tenuifolium by the discolorous leaves (adaxial surface green to dark green, abaxial surface silvery and glaucous) and the larger elliptic fruit (5.0–6.5 mm long). It differs from N. ferulaceum in the much larger leaves (usually more than 110 mm long) that are congested or irregularly arranged up the decumbent stem, the ultimate leaflet segments that are always flat and laminate, and the broad commissural vittae in the fruit.

Habitat

Notobubon sonderi occurs in moist soil on scree or steep rocky, east, south or west facing slopes, invariably at altitudes above 900 m. From: Magee, AR; Van Wyk, B-E; Tilney, PM. 2009.
