The flowers have persistent sepals and white petals, with those on one side much longer than the other. The fruits are about as long as they are wide. Their side ridges have whitish wings. Taxonomy Species assigned to the genus were first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 in ''Species Plantarum''. Species ''Ainsworthia'' and ''Synelcosciadium'' were included in ''Tordylium'' by El-Aisawi & Jury in 1998. , Plants of the World Online accepted 20 species: *'' Tordylium aegaeum'' Runemark *'' Tordylium aegyptiacum'' (L.)

Tordylium Apulum
''Tordylium apulum'', commonly known as the Mediterranean hartwort, is an annual forb or herb. It is classified within the family Apiaceae, the carrot family. It is native to Europe and Western Asia, but has been introduced to the United States, where it is now found only in Arizona. This plant's seeds are suggested as the plant model used for the famous gold "Malia Pendant", a jewel of high quality gold-smithery of the Minoan times now on display at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. Derivation of English Common Name The name Hartwort, meaning ‘Deer plant’ is a scholarly coinage from the belief, first recorded by Aristotle that female deer sought out the leaves of the plant to eat, after giving birth.

Description The Mediterranean hartwort usually grows to 20-50 centimeters in height. It has an erect stem that is branched with soft, spreading ...
