Transberingia Al-Shehbaz & O'Kane
Publ. & Syn.Halimolobus auct., non Tausch, Flora 19: 410 (1836).
NotesMurray and Elven: Yurtsev (PAF proposal) considered the species below to be the only truly arctic member(s) of the genus Arabidopsis. This is not in accordance with recent molecular and phylogenetic investigations. Al-Shehbaz et al. (1999) circumscribed Arabidopsis differently and excluded the species below, assigning it or them to the genus Halimolobus, a solution Yurtsev argued against. Price et al. (2001) followed up the molecular analysis, concluded that this Beringian, North American, and Greenlandic species constitutes a segregate distinct from both Arabidopsis and Halimolobus, and assigned it to a new genus, first as Beringia but later (Al-Shehbaz and O'Kane 2003), due to homonymy, as Transberingia.
