Taxonomy

Erysimum redowskii was first described by Johann Anton Weinmann in 1810. [3] A description of Cheiranthus pallasii was first published by Frederick Traugott Pursh in 1813. [4] It was transferred to Erysimum as Erysimum pallasii by Merritt Lyndon Fernald in 1925. [5] E. pallasii was considered to be a synonym of E. redowskii by Adolf Polatschek in 2010 and 2012 listings of Erysimum species. [6] [7] The synonymy is accepted by Plants of the World Online, as of April 2021. [1]

Distribution

This wallflower has a circumpolar subarctic distribution, being found in the north of Europe, Asia and North America. [1] It is widespread in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, and common in Greenland, Northwest Canada [ where? ] and Alaska. [8]

Ecology

This species seems to be apomictic, since it is scarcely visited by insects and seed production is independent of flower visitors. [9]
