英文摘要 |
Anthriscus caucalis M. Bieb., belonging to the carrot family, is native to Europe and naturalized in Asia, America and Australia. With fruits densely covered by hooked bristles, this species is similar to Torilis japonica (Houtt.) DC., but can be distingulished by its compound umbel without or rarely with one bract, and mericarp with an unarmed short stout beak. In a recent plant survey, a wild population of Anthriscus caucalis was found in central Taiwan. A detailed description with color photographs and habitat information are provided in this paper. |
