rufibarbis

Rufibarbis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae. The genus was described in 1778. Plants in the genus Rufibarbis are characterized by their finely divided leaves and umbels of small white or pinkish flowers. They are typically found in dry, open habitats. The name Rufibarbis is derived from Latin words meaning "red beard," referring to the reddish hairs found on some parts of the plant.

Several species have been classified under the Rufibarbis genus, though taxonomic classifications can sometimes vary. Some sources may list species under related genera. For example, Rufibarbis cantabrica is a species native to the Iberian Peninsula. It is a perennial herb that grows in rocky areas and on slopes. Another species, Rufibarbis pinnata, is found in mountainous regions.

Research on Rufibarbis species often focuses on their ecological roles, distribution, and potential medicinal properties, although extensive research in these areas may be limited for some species. The Apiaceae family to which Rufibarbis belongs is a large and diverse family of plants, including many well-known species such as carrots, parsley, and dill. The specific ecological niche and characteristics of Rufibarbis contribute to the biodiversity within this family.
