Species

Recent morphological and genetic studies have shown that Sibbaldia is polyphyletic, with some species needing synonymizing or reassignment to (or from) other genera, including Sibbaldianthe, Chamaecallis, and Potentilla.[2] Additionally, one of the three species of Sibbaldiopsis should be renamed Sibbaldia retusa once some clarity regarding the identity of their specimens is achieved. Species currently accepted by The Plant List,[3] with suggested reassignments are as follows:

  • Sibbaldia adpressa Bunge → Sibbaldianthe adpressa (Bunge) Juz.
  • Sibbaldia cuneata Schouw ex Kunze
  • Sibbaldia micropetala (D.Don) Hand.-Mazz. → Potentilla micropetala D.Don
  • Sibbaldia olgae Juz. & Ovcz. → Sibbaldia cuneata
  • Sibbaldia omeiensis T.T.Yu & C.L.Li → Potentilla omeiensis (T.T.Yü and C.L.Li) Soják
  • Sibbaldia parviflora Willd.
  • Sibbaldia pentaphylla J.Krause → Potentilla clandestina Soják
  • Sibbaldia perpusilloides (W.W.Sm.) Hand.-Mazz. → Chamaecallis perpusillodes (W.W.Sm.) Smedmark
  • Sibbaldia phanerophlebia T.T.Yu & C.L.Li → probably P. micropetala
  • Sibbaldia procumbens L.
  • Sibbaldia purpurea Royle → Potentilla purpurea (Royle) Hook. f.
  • Sibbaldia sericea (Grubov) Soják ← Sibbaldianthe sericea Grubov
  • Sibbaldia sikkimensis (Prain) Chatterjee → Potentilla sikkimensis Prain
  • Sibbaldia tenuis Hand.-Mazz. → Potentilla tenuis (Hand.-Mazz.) Soják
  • Sibbaldia tetrandra Bunge → Potentilla tetrandra (Hook. f.) Bunge
