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]
