Solms-laubachia
genus of plants
Solms-laubachia is a high-elevation genus of perennial herbs in the family Brassicaceae. It is named for the German botanist Hermann zu Solms-Laubach.
Taxonomy
In 2008, Yue et al. expanded Solms-laubachia, using molecular phylogenetics, to incorporate all Desideria species and one other species, Phaeonychium jafrii. They also described four new species.
Distribution and habitat
Solms-laubachia species grow naturally in the Himalayan, Karakoram, Pamir and Hengduan mountains or, regionally, in an arc from Kyrgyzstan in the northwest to southeastern Tibet. Their habitat is scree slopes and rock crevices from 4,000 m (13,000 ft) to 6,200 m (20,000 ft) elevation.

34 species are accepted.

Why this record matters
“Solms-laubachia” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Solms-laubachia, genus and plants provides the most credible route into that argument.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q592721. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2008.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
