Genus of flowering plants
Carduncellus is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Cardueae within the family Asteraceae. They are native to the western Mediterranean and surrounding regions.[2]
The taxonomy of the genus is still unclear. It is closely related to the genus Carthamus, and the two groups have been treated as part of a species complex, with the boundaries between them not established.[2] While some sources accept several names in Carduncellus,[3] others are more restrictive,[4] and some consider the genus to be synonymous with Carthamus, the genus that includes the safflower.[5]
