Taxonomy
The genus was first described in 1987 by M. G. Pimenov and E. V. Kljuyko.[1] They treated a subgeneric taxon of Conopodium, Neoconopodium, first described by Boris Koso-Poljansky in 1916, as the basionym. Their genus Neoconopodium was distinguished from Anthriscus, Chaerophyllum, Krasnovia and Butinia (now included in Conopodium) based on seed characters.[4] A 2001 study using ribosomal DNA found that Neoconopodium, Krasnovia and Kozlovia were closely related within tribe Scandiceae subtribe Scandicinae, and proposed that they be combined into Kozlovia.[3] As of December 2022[update], this proposal had been accepted by the Germplasm Resources Information Network,[5] but not by Plants of the World Online.[2]
Species
