The plant genus Sanikel ( Sanicula ) belongs to the umbelliferae family (Apiaceae). The approximately 40 species have their main distribution in North America (22 species) and East Asia . The forest sanicle ( Sanicula europaea ) is the only species native to Europe and is considered a tertiary relic .

description

Vegetative characteristics

Sanikel species are low, slender, prostrate or erect biennial or perennial herbaceous plants without hairs. They grow branching or upright, straight and unbranched from a short rhizome or directly from spindle-shaped or bulbous roots . The stem axis is mostly branched, the arrangement of the branches is very different.

The leaves are stalked or almost sessile. The membrane-like thin to almost leather-like leaf blade is hand-shaped or pinnately divided or composed several times. The individual leaf parts are serrated, lobed, pinnately divided or with entire margins differently. The leaf spindle is glabrous or winged.

Inflorescences and flowers

Inflorescence of the forest sanikel ( Sanicula europaea )

The inflorescences consist of simple, head-shaped umbels , which are arranged zymös or racemose . The calyx consists of entire or lobed bracts , which can be both longer and shorter than the umbels. The umbels are bisexual or unisexual, in which case only male flowers are formed. The flowers are on peduncles or are almost sessile. The purely male flowers are often conspicuously highlighted by flower stalks and fall off early or are persistent.

The flowers are white, greenish-white, greenish-yellow, yellow, red, lavender, blue or purple. The sepals are bristle-shaped, linear-lanceolate or truncated egg-shaped and almost individually standing to strongly fused together. On the ripe fruit, the sepals are beaked or covered by the reinforcement of the fruit. The edge of the spatulate to egg-shaped petals is curved, the tip is narrowed and curved. The stylus is either shorter than the calyx lobes or elongated, protruding, bent back or screwed. The stylopodium is absent or flattened and disc-shaped.

Fruits and seeds

The fruits are oblong-egg-shaped to spherical and somewhat flattened on the sides. The fruits are densely covered with spikes , spikelets, scales or nodules. The spines are often widened or bulbous at the base, straight or with a hook. Ribs are only rudimentary. The carpel is almost round or laterally or dorsally flattened. The oil streaks can be large or small, in a regular or irregular arrangement. There are three to a large number of oil welts under the dorsal and lateral surface and usually two at the commissure . The surface of the seeds is smooth, concave or wrinkled; reinforcing cells are absent.

Systematics

The genus Sanicula was established by Carl von Linné . With the German trivial name Sanikel (Middle High German already feminine and masculine) species of other genera were also referred to ( whorl-leaved tooth root , large star umbel , wood anemone , real carnation root ).

The genus Sanicula contains about 40 species (selection):
