Camphorosma is a genus of flowering plants in the family Amaranthaceae,[3][4] found in northern Africa, southern and eastern Europe, Crimea, Russia, Anatolia, the Caucasus, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia, the Altai, western Siberia, Xinjiang in China, and Mongolia.[2] Annuals or subshrubs, they can be distinguished from closely related taxa such as Bassia by their flattened perianths which have four lobes, inflorescences with multicellular glandular hairs, a distinct C4 leaf anatomy type (called the Camphorosma type), and a chromosome count of 2n = 12.[5][6]

Currently accepted species include:[2]

  • Camphorosma annua Pall.
  • Camphorosma monspeliaca L.
  • Camphorosma persepolitana Gand.
