Turgeniopsis is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae.[2] It contains only one known species, Turgeniopsis foeniculacea.[2] The earlier synonym Glochidotheca is also used as the accepted genus name,[3] but Plants of the World Online states that it was not validly published.[2]

Description

It is an

zoochory (by animals) or barochory (dropping by gravity).[4]

Taxonomy

The name Glochidotheca was published in 1843 by Eduard Fenzl,[6] earlier than Turgeniopsis was published by Pierre Edmond Boissier in 1844,[7] and some sources use Glochidotheca as the accepted genus name.[8] However Plants of the World Online states that Glochidotheca was not validly published and so uses Turgeniopsis.[2]

The genus name of Turgeniopsis is in honour of Alexander Turgenev (1784–1845), a Russian statesman and historian.[9] The Latin specific epithet of foeniculacea is derived from Foeniculum (fennel).[10]

It is placed in subfamily Apioideae and tribe Scandiceae subtribe Torilidinae.[11]

Range and habitat

It is native to Bulgaria and parts of western Asia: Iran, Iraq, Lebanon,[12] Syria and Turkey.[2] In 2011, it was found in Israel.[13]

It is listed as critically endangered in Bulgaria, and is threatened by he poor competitive ability of the species and its small population; overgrazing and strong soil erosion.[4]

It grows in stony

grasslands and scrubland, on screes, hillsides,[5] on limestone bedrock, usually on shallow soil in the oak-forests belt.[4] It grows at altitudes of 500–1,500 metres (1,600–4,900 ft) above sea level.[5]

It can be found growing with

Jasminum fruticans, and others.[4]
