Rosularia sempervivoides

Rosularia is a small genus of the family Crassulaceae. It includes about 28-35 species from Europe, the Himalayas, and northern Africa.

Taxonomy

Rosularia was originally described by De Candolle (1828) as a section of the genus Umbilicus, [2] and raised to the level of genus by Stapf (1923) [3] Thus the genus bears the botanical authority ( DC) Stapf of both authors. [1]

In 1930 Berger included it in family Crassulaceae subfamily Sedoideae, as one of 9 genera. [4] [5] He further divided it into two sections (Eu-Rosularia and Ornithogalopsis) and further series, [6] transferring some species of Sedum to it. Since then a number of species have been transferred in and out of the genus, including S. sempervivoides, which at one stage was placed in Prometheum. [5] The genus Sempervivella was submerged in Rosularia. [6] The genus is now placed within the Leucosedum clade, tribe Sedeae, subfamily Sempervivoideae of the Crassulaceae, but is embedded within Sedum paraphyletically. [7] [1] [8]

Species

Rosularia contains about 28 species. The following species and subspecies were accepted by The Plant List (2013): [9] [10]

Distribution and habitat

Rosularia is found in arid and semi-arid regions from N. Africa (Morocco, Ethiopia), through the eastern Mediterranean to Central Asia (north of Tien Shan and east of W Himalaya), including Pakistan. [6] [5]

Ecology

Rosularia is an important larval host for the Central Asian butterfly Parnassius apollonius. [12]

Uses

A number of species are cultivated as ornamental garden plants, and have been used in traditional medicine. [5]
