Colcemidilla

Colcemidilla is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae. It is native to the Mediterranean region, primarily found in coastal areas of southern Europe and North Africa. The genus was first described in 1945 by the botanist Werner Greuter. Species within this genus are typically herbaceous, perennial plants with a slender, upright growth habit. They are characterized by their compound leaves and small, white or pale yellow flowers that appear in umbels, a common arrangement for plants in the carrot family.

The ecological niche of Colcemidilla species often involves sandy or rocky soils in arid or semi-arid environments. They are adapted to withstand dry conditions and may exhibit drought tolerance. The flowering period usually occurs in the spring and early summer. Reproduction is primarily through seeds. While not widely cultivated, some species may have ornamental potential due to their delicate floral displays and adaptations to challenging environments. Further research is ongoing to fully understand the biodiversity and evolutionary relationships within the Colcemidilla genus.
