Phlyctidocarpa

Phlyctidocarpa is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae. It contains a single species, Phlyctidocarpa flava. Its native range is Namibia.

==Taxonomy== The genus and sole species were first described in 1967. It has been placed in subfamily Apioideae (possibly in its own tribe Phlyctidocarpeae), but a 2021 molecular phylogenetic study found that it was sister to a clade composed of the subfamilies Saniculoideae and Apioideae so that including it in Apioideae rendered that subfamily paraphyletic. One possibility is to include it in an expanded Saniculoideae; another is to merge Saniculoideae into an expanded Apioideae.
