👉 Xenostrobus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, native to Europe and Asia. They are characterized by their large flowers, with each flower typically containing multiple lobes, which serve as phloem vessels for water transport. The leaves are often sessile or petiolate, and they have a thick bark. Xenostrobus species produce seeds that can be dispersed through wind and animals like birds, bats, and moths.
