Jasonseeria

Jasonseeria is a genus of plants in the family Apiaceae, commonly known as the carrot family. The genus contains a single species, Jasonseeria procumbens. This species is native to the Mediterranean region, particularly found in parts of Greece, Italy, and North Africa. It is an herbaceous perennial plant that typically grows in arid or semi-arid conditions, often found on rocky slopes or in disturbed soils.

Jasonseeria procumbens is characterized by its low-growing, spreading habit. The leaves are usually pinnately compound and have a somewhat aromatic quality. The flowers are small and typically white or pale yellow, arranged in umbels, which is a characteristic feature of the Apiaceae family. These flowers are followed by small, ribbed fruits.

The plant has historically had limited documented uses. In some regions, it may have been used in traditional folk medicine, although scientific evidence supporting such uses is scarce. Its ecological role primarily involves contributing to the biodiversity of its native habitats. Due to its specific habitat requirements, Jasonseeria is not widely cultivated and is primarily of interest to botanists and researchers studying plant taxonomy and Mediterranean flora. Conservation status varies by region, with some populations potentially facing threats from habitat degradation.
