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).
