Key to families | Table of families and genera This text currently parallels The Jepson Manual: Vascular Plants of California, Second Edition that is now available at the University of California Press. Text appearing in blue on this page will not appear in the printed book; it will be displayed only on the Web. Specimen numbers are hyperlinked to records in the Consortium of California Herbaria data view where possible. Taxa are hyperlinked to entries in the Jepson Interchange via the "[Online Interchange]" link. |
Perennial, ± nonglandular, rhizomes short, stolons leafless.
Leaf: basal, 1-ternately compound; leaflet teeth generally entire.
Inflorescence: cyme, ± umbel-like, open, 1–several-flowered; pedicels recurved in fruit, bractlets 0.
Flower: hypanthium shallow, bractlets 5, narrower than sepals; sepals, petals ± obovate, generally white; stamens 20–35, filaments ± flat, pollen sac 1, horseshoe-shaped; pistils many, ovaries superior, jointed to stout style on side.
Fruit: achenes many on enlarged, fleshy, red receptacle.
± 20 species: generally n temperate. (Latin: fragrant) [Hancock et al. 2004 Canad J Bot 82:1632–1644] Spp. intergrade.
Unabridged note: Characters include calyx orientation, fruit size used to define subspp. despite evident lack of taxonomic value.
