👉 Lacinulas is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae. They are native to southern and central South America, where they grow in humid forests and grasslands. Lacinulas have been used for centuries as an herbal remedy and have also been cultivated for food. These plants are often referred to as "lacinula" because their flowers resemble tiny lilies, but they can be distinguished by the presence of a pointed spike or thorn at the end of one flower stem.
