Anethum involucratum is the last species of the Umbelliferae in the flora of Uzbekistan which remains taxonomically obscure due to the loss of its type material in Tashkent (TASH) where it should have been stored according to the protologue. A comparative study of descriptions of A. involucratum and species of Galagania was undertaken with a special attention to G. tenuisecta, a widely distributed and common species, with examination of herbarium collections from Kashkadarya viloyat, a type province of A. involucratum and adjacent Samarquand viloyat. This study demonstrated that the described features of both species are almost identical, and A. involucratum is placed in the synonymy of previously described G. tenuisecta. The previously proposed synonymization of A. involucratum with G. neglecta is rejected, and its previously designated neotype is superseded. The genus Anethum is excluded from the native flora of Uzbekistan.
