Pimpinella saxifraga, le Petit boucage ou Boucage saxifrage, est une espèce de plantes à fleurs de la famille des Apiacées. C'est une plante herbacée originaire d'Eurasie. Les boucages, y compris l'anis vert, sont des Ombellifères à fleurs blanches ou rosées assez petites, fruits ovoïdes à cotes peu saillantes toutes égales entre elles, calice non apparent et feuilles composées de 5 à 11 folioles ovales grossièrement dentées. Il en existe en France plusieurs espèces. Les unes à fruits et partie supérieure de la plante sans poils; ce sont des Boucages saxifrages, dont l'un, à tige pleine et folioles petites, est le Pimpinella saxifraga Huds., et l'autre à tige creuse et grandes folioles, est le Grand boucage ou P. magnaL. Les autres espèces, toutes méridionales, ont les fruits et la tige entièrement velus ; ce sont l'Anis vert qui se distingue à son odeur d'Anis, et 2 espèces méditerranéennes, P. peregrina L. et P.tragium Villars, dont les propriétés sont approximativement les mêmes que celles des Boucages saxifrages.

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Pimpinella major has left across the world's sequence archives.
At a glance
★ the standard DNA barcode for this group — the short region actually read to tell this species apart. The rest are extra genes sequenced along the way.
The complete instruction manual Pimpinella major carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Genome sizehow big the whole instruction manual is
Measured in base pairs (bp) — the individual letters of DNA (human ≈ 3.2 Gb, a bacterium a few million). The chart places this genome on a logarithmic scale — each step to the right is ten times bigger — among reference organisms. Across species a bigger genome loosely tracks with larger cells, slower growth and lower-energy lifestyles (powered flight favours small genomes) — yet it does not imply more genes or a more advanced organism (the long-standing C-value paradox).
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.

Wildobservation + sensor
Human sightings and records, or camera-trap / sensor detections — someone (or a device) saw or captured the species in the wild.
Museum / Voucheredphysical evidence
Backed by a physical specimen — a herbarium sheet, sample or voucher held in a collection. “Vouchered” means supported by material evidence, not just an observation.
Cultivated / Captivenot free-living
A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.

Cultivated / Captivenot free-living
A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.
Where the DNA of Pimpinella major was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How strong is each trace?
Modelled climatemodelled
How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
