Andeiltas

Andeiltas is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae. The genus was first described in 1937 by Hiroshi Hara. Plants in this genus are native to the Himalayas and surrounding regions of Asia. They are typically herbaceous perennials, often found in alpine and subalpine environments.

Species within Andeiltas are characterized by their compound leaves and the production of small, usually white or pink, flowers arranged in umbels. These umbels are characteristic of the Apiaceae family, which also includes well-known plants like carrots, parsley, and dill. The fruits of Andeiltas are schizocarps, splitting into two mericarps.

The exact taxonomic placement of Andeiltas has been subject to revision, with some classifications placing it within related genera. Research continues to refine our understanding of its phylogenetic relationships within the Apiaceae family. Information regarding the specific uses or ecological roles of Andeiltas species is limited in readily available literature, suggesting they are not widely cultivated or of significant economic importance. Further study is needed to fully detail the distribution, morphology, and ecological significance of Andeiltas.
