Description

1. Elwendia sect. Elwendia.

Type:— Elwendia caroides Boissier (1844: 140).

Description:—Polycarpic herbs; stems solid; leaf rachis and petiolules not refracted; stem leaf sheaths not inflated; upper stem leaves pinnate with straight rachis; umbels corymbose or hemispherical, without involucre; bracteoles present; pedicels during fructification thick; fruits hardly or rarely easily separated into mericarps; dorsal mericarp ribs keeled; marginal mericarp ribs winged or not winged; mericarps with a beak under stylopodia (Fig. 2A); styles recurved or erect; commissure broad, exocarp terminates near edges of marginal ribs (Fig. 3A); mesocarp in marginal ribs consists of non-lignified parenchyma cells or lignified parenchyma cells with pitted walls; vallecular vittae solitary, 2–3 per furrow or numerous; endosperm on commissural side flat; 2n = 12, 13, 22.

Note:—The delimitation of the section follows the original sectional concept of Kljuykov (1988). The diagnostic feature of this section is a presence of the beak under stylopodia (Fig. 2A), which is distinct from other Elwendia species.
