Afroligusticum elliotii is a perennial tuberous herb in the carrot family, native to bamboo forests of tropical East and Central Africa and considered endangered in the wild. It is rarely grown in cultivation, so care guidance is limited and mostly general.
Afroligusticum elliotii is a member of the carrot family, Apiaceae. It is a perennial tuber, native to bamboo forests in west Tropical Africa. An endangered species, A. elliotii is most commonly found near Lake Kivu in Rwanda, but it has been observed as far north as Lake Albert in Uganda and as far south as Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania.
Afroligusticum elliotii is the type species of the genus Afroligusticum, and was the sole species in the genus until a broad reclassification of African peucedanoids in 2008.
