O género monotipico Melanosdinum Hoffm. da família Umbrelliferae é uma das endémicas mais numerosas da Macaronésia, sendo registada para os arquipélagos da Madeira e dos Açores. A única espécie é M. decipiens (Schrad. & J.C. Wendl.) Hoffm. As dúvidas levantadas por vários investigadores sobre a verdadeira identidade de M. decipiens fora da Madeira culminaram recentemente em as plantas açoreanas serem redesignadas como uma nova espécie de Angelica, A. lignescens Reduron & Danton. Apesar de uma descrição e ilustrações serem providenciadas pelos autores, outros dados para esta espécie são muito incompletos. Este artigo revê os gêneros Melanoselinum e Angelica na Macaronésia e fornece informações adicionais de A. lignescens, incluindo novos registos. M. decipiens é também descrita, lectotipificada e é fornecida a lista de todos os nomes correntemente publicados, usados e aceites de Melanoselinum.
ABSTRACT: Melanoselinum Hoffm. is a monotypic genus of the family Umbelliferae and is one of the numerous endemics found in Macaronesia, being recorded from lhe archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores. The only species is M. decipiens (Schrad . & JC.Wendl.) Hoffm. Doubts held by various workers as to the true identity or M. decipiens outside Madeira recently culminated in the Azorean plants being reassigned to a new species of Angelica, A. lignescens Reduron & Danton. Although the authors provided a full description and illustrations, other data for this species are sketchy. This paper reviews the genera Melanoselinum and Angelica in Macaronesia and provides additional information on A. lignescens, including new records. M. decipiens is also described and lectolypified and the currently accepted usage of all other names published in Melanoselinum are given.
