Boechera holboellii or Holbøll's Rockcress (synonym Arabis holboellii) is found in Greenland. Its cytology has been much studied by the Danish botanist Tyge W. Böcher. Circumscription of this species has varied, with earlier works treating it as a widespread, polymorphic species with several varieties[1], while more recently it has been treated as a much more narrowly defined species limited to Greenland[2].
The specific epithet commemorates Carl Peter Holbøll - a Danish civil servant and early explorer of the fauna of Greenland.
