Alshehbazia friesii is a species of flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae. It is a subshrub native to subalpine regions of the Andes from southern Peru to Bolivia, northern Chile, and northwestern Argentina. [1]

It was first described as Eudema friesii by Otto Eugen Schulz in 1924. [1] In 2012 it was transferred to Petroravenia because of the lack of septum diving the fruit into chambers. [2] In 2019 it was transferred to genus Alshehbazia as Alshehbazia friesii. [1]
