Ammatillisella

Ammatillisella is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae. The genus was first described in 1927. Plants in this genus are native to the Mediterranean region. Ammatillisella species are typically small, herbaceous perennials. They often have finely divided leaves and produce small, white or pink flowers arranged in umbels.

The exact taxonomic placement of Ammatillisella has been subject to some revision. While historically recognized as a distinct genus, some studies have suggested it may be more closely related to or even a part of other genera within the Apiaceae family, such as Bupleurum or Glehnia. Further research continues to refine our understanding of its evolutionary relationships.

The species within Ammatillisella are generally found in arid or semi-arid habitats, often on rocky slopes or in sandy soils. Their small size and adaptations to dry conditions are characteristic of plants from these environments. Little is widely documented regarding the specific uses or ecological significance of Ammatillisella, as it is not a commonly cultivated or economically important plant. The genus remains a subject of botanical interest for its taxonomic position and its representatives in Mediterranean flora.
