APIACEAE
Perejil cabruno, Falso culantrillo
Pimpinella dendrotragium is a perennial herbaceous plant or small shrub endemic to the islands of Tenerife and La Palma, in the Canary Islands archipelago. It belongs to the Apiaceae family and is commonly known as ‘perejil cabruno’ or ‘culantrillo’.
It grows as a small perennial shrub with a distinctly woody stem, typically reaching a height of between 30 and 40 centimetres.
Its basal leaves are once-pinnate, completely glabrous (hairless) and have ovate, petiolate segments with a finely crenate-serrated margin.
As is characteristic of the Apiaceae family, its flowers are white and grouped in striking umbels. Its flowering season mainly takes place between April and June.
It is a botanical gem of the Macaronesian flora, inhabiting summit areas and crags on its native islands, and is closely related to other species of the same genus found exclusively in the Canary Islands, such as Pimpinella cumbrae and Pimpinella anagodendron.
