The partial fruits (mericarpies) of the split fruits are elongated and slightly indented lengthways . Their longitudinal ribs are blunt and their valleys ( valleculae ) are wide and consist of one canal, towards the junction of two canals. The fruit holders ( Karpophor ) are divided in the upper part.

Systematics and distribution

The genus Carum was established by Carl von Linné .

The genus Carum is common in the temperate areas of the Old World . There are four species in China, one of them only there.

There are at least 20 types:

The approximately three species of the genus Hellenocarum H.Wolff and the new genus Neomuretia Kljuykov, Degtjareva & Zakharova (it contains only two species) no longer belong to the genus Carum since 2016 :

  • Hellenocarum depressum (Hartvig & Kit Tan) Kljuykov & Zakharova (Syn .: Carum depressum Hartvig & Kit Tan ): It occurs in Greece.
  • Hellenocarum multiflorum (Sm.) H.Wolff (Syn .: Carum multiflorum (Sm.) Boiss. ): It occurs in southeastern Italy, southern Albania, Greece, Crete, western Anatolia (Izmir) and on islands of the eastern Aegean.
  • Hellenocarum strictum (Griseb.) Kljuykov (Syn .: Carum strictum (Griseb.) Boiss. , Carum lumpeanum Dörfl. & Hayek , Carum scaligerioides Bornm. ): It occurs in Albania, Macedonia, in northern Greece and on islands in the northern Aegean.
  • Neomuretia amplifolia (Boiss. & Hausskn.) Kljuykov, Degtjareva & Zakharova (Syn .: Hellenocarum amplifolium (Boiss. & Hausskn.) Kljuykov )
  • Neomuretia pisidica (Kit Tan) Kljuykov, Degtjareva & Zakharova (Syn .: Hellenocarum pisidicum Kit Tan )
