Pycnocomon is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Caprifoliaceae.[1] They were formerly placed in the defunct family of Dipsacaceae.[2]
It is native to the Mediterranean and found in the countries of Algeria, Corsica, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Sardinia, Sicily, Spain and Tunisia.[1]
It was first published in Fl. Portug. vol.2 on page 93 in 1820.[1]
It was included in genus Scabiosa L. for a long time but molecular data demonstrated that genera Pycnocomon and Lomelosia (another Scabiosa-like genus) form a clade distinct from Scabiosa.[2]
In 2017, a new species from the family Eriophyidae, the gall mites, Aceria pycnocomi was found on Pycnocomon rutifolium in Spain. [3]
Pycnocomon rutifolium in Spain was screened for Anticancer activity in 2021.[4]
