Cryptotaenia, or honewort,[2] is a genus of herbaceous perennial plants, native to North America, Africa, and eastern Asia, growing wild in moist, shady places.

Species

[edit]

Six species are accepted by Plants of the World Online as of February 2025.[1] Other studies suggested that the African and Canary Island species should be moved to other genera and that the Italian endemic Lereschia thomasii should be included in Cryptotaenia.[3][4] In 2016 the Canary Islands endemic Cryptotaenia elegans was moved to genus Daucus as Daucus elegans.[5]
