Erysimum redowskii, synonym Erysimum pallasii, known as Pallas' wallflower, is a low shrub or mid shrub species from the Arctic. It has purple flowers that do not reflect UV. [2]
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 [update]. [1]
Distribution
 |
This wallflower has a circumpolar Arctic distribution. It is widespread in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, and common in Greenland, Northwest Canada[ where?] and Alaska.
Ecology
This species seems to be apomictic, since it is scarcely visited by insects and seed production is independent of flower visitors. [8]
