Abstract
A new species, Semenovia zhobica, is described from Zhob and Musakhail districts of Northern Balochistan, Pakistan, based on morphological and molecular studies. The new species is an intricately branched, robust plant characterized by very long tripinnate leaves with subulate, bifid or trifid segments, umbels in long panicles, indumentum of soft white hairs to densely wooly, mericarps finely puberulous on both surfaces. A detailed morphological description, illustrations, ecology, ethnobotany, phylogenetic analyses based on sequences of nrITS/ETS and a distribution map of the new species are provided. Besides, we perform a lectotypification of the name Semenovia heracleifolia here.
