Key characteristics

This narrow endemic resembles Sibara anethifolia and S. macrostachya but is readily distinguished from both by the bipinnatisect leaves with dentate lobes (vs. pectinate-pinnatisect leaves with entire lobes). It also differs from S. anethifolia by the robust (vs. delicate) stems 0.5-1 m (vs. 10-30 cmm) and 56-84-flowered (vs. 13-30-flowered). Sibara macrostachya is perennial while. S, dillonirum is annual.
