Viscaria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Europe, Kazakhstan, and western Siberia.[2] Molecular studies attempting to resolve relationships in the tribe Sileneae have found that Viscaria is closely genetically related to the genus Atocion, but is quite distinct from it morphologically.[3]
Species
Currently accepted species include:[2]
- Viscaria alpina (L.) G.Don
- Viscaria asterias (Griseb.) Frajman
- Viscaria × media Fr. ex Svanlund
