raoilla

Raoilla is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, commonly known as the carrot family. The genus currently contains a single species, Raoilla aegyptiaca. This plant is native to Egypt and is found in the eastern desert regions of the country. Raoilla aegyptiaca is a small, herbaceous perennial that typically grows to a height of about 20-30 centimeters. It has finely divided, feathery leaves and produces small, white flowers in compound umbels. The fruit is a small, ribbed schizocarp.

The plant is not widely cultivated or commercially significant. Its distribution is limited, and it is considered a rare species in its native habitat. Ecological studies on Raoilla aegyptiaca are limited, but it is believed to be adapted to arid conditions, surviving on minimal rainfall and thriving in sandy or stony soils. Further research may be needed to fully understand its ecological role and conservation status. The genus Raoilla was established by the botanist Thomas Archibald Sprague.
