APIACEAE
Perejil de Anaga, perejil salvaje
Pimpinella anagodendron, commonly known as Anaga parsley or wild parsley, is a shrubby plant species belonging to the Apiaceae family. It is a species endemic exclusively to the island of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, Spain.
It is a small, evergreen shrub, branched from the base, which usually reaches a height of between 50 and 70 centimetres. It has a woody stem and slightly hairy branches.
Its basal leaves are bipinnate, with ovate segments that are deeply divided and have serrated-toothed margins. They are grouped in striking rosettes at the tips of the branches. This bipinnate arrangement clearly distinguishes it from other Canarian species of the same genus, such as P. cumbrae or P. dendrotragium, whose leaves are unipinnate.
It produces white flowers arranged in umbel-like inflorescences with between 7 and 12 rays, characteristically lacking bracts or bracteoles.
Its main flowering period is concentrated in the months of April and May.
This species is found exclusively in the Anaga massif, in the north-eastern corner of Tenerife. It thrives best on terraces, cliffs, stony scree and rock crevices, in both shaded and semi-sunny areas where humus has accumulated.
It is a characteristic component of rock-dwelling scrub within the ecological transition zones stretching from the thermophilic forest to the montane forest. As it is a highly localised island endemic, it is listed as a protected species and monitored by the Canary Islands Biodiversity Sentinel System.
