Endodeca Rafinesque. Common name: Turpentine-root.
A genus of 2 (or more?) species, of eastern and sc. North America. This genus is morphologically distinctive within Aristolochia (in the broad sense), and forms a clade with Isotrema separate from Aristolochia s.s., this clade now usually accorded subtribe rank as Isotrematinae (Ohi-Toma et al. 2006, Floden & Weakley 2018). Zhu et al. (2019) argue for the recognition of Isotrema at generic rank, but include Endodeca in it; we prefer to separate Endodeca (basal to Isotrema s.s.) at genus rank as well (Floden & Weakley 2018).

- If you opt out of including email, please be as specific as possible (e.g., which photo is incorrect?)
- Please do not submit questions asking to identify plants or about horticultural topics (e.g., how do I control an invasive plant in my garden?). Instead, those questions can be submitted here for the Carolinas region only.
- Please do not send us feedback about unkeyed species as this work is ongoing.
- Please allow time for flora edits to show in our next data release. We greatly appreciate your feedback but may require extra time to research complicated taxonomic issues.
