Angelica danxiacola (Apiaceae), a new species from eastern China based on morphological and molecular data
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Angelica danxiacola, a new species of Apiaceae from Danxia landform in Zhejiang Province, eastern China, is described and illustrated. This species exhibits similarities in morphological features to A. morii but is distinguishable by several discrete features, such as the shape and size of the leaf blades and leaflets, number of rays, pedicel length, shape and size of the mericarp, and number of vittae on the commissure. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses based on nrDNA ITS sequences strongly support A. danxiacola as a distinct lineage sister to a clade comprising A. morii and related species.
