Notes
Consists of about 60 cushion-forming subshrubby species of the subalpine steppe region in Central to Southwest Asia (Bittrich 1993b; Ghaffari 2004). Pirani & al. (2014) showed that the genus is paraphyletic in this circumscription with Allochrusa, Diaphanoptera p.p., Ochotonophila, and Scleranthopsis nested within it.
