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 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]
