Parodiodoxa is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae. [2] It just contains one species, Parodiodoxa chionophila, a perennial or subshrub native to subalpine areas of northwestern Argentina. [1]

The genus name of Parodiodoxa is in honour of Lorenzo Raimundo Parodi (1895–1966), an Argentinian botanist and agricultural engineer, professor of botany in Buenos Aires and La Plata, with a focus on South American grasses. [3] The Latin specific epithet of chionophila means snow lover. [4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berlin-Dahlem Vol.10 on pages 781-783 in 1929. [1]
