Lisista

Lisista is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae. The genus was first described in 1926. Plants in this genus are typically found in the Mediterranean region.

The species within the genus Lisista are herbaceous perennials. They are characterized by their compound umbels, which are characteristic of the Apiaceae family. The flowers are usually small and white or yellow. The fruits are schizocarps, a type of dry fruit that splits into two single-seeded sections.

The exact taxonomic placement and relationships of Lisista within the Apiaceae family are subjects of ongoing research. Like many genera within this large family, its precise definition and the species included can sometimes be subject to revision based on new morphological or molecular data.

Information regarding the specific uses or ecological roles of Lisista species is not widely documented in general botanical literature. Further research may be needed to fully understand their distribution, conservation status, and any potential interactions with their environment or other organisms.
