Species

The only accepted species is Neopallasia pectinata. Neopallasia pectinata is an erect herb, 12–40 cm tall with pinnately divided sessile oblong-elliptic leaves. This plant of deserts grows in gravelly river valleys and wastelands at 1300–3400 m elevation. This variable species is known from northern and western China (provinces of Gansu, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Qinghai, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Tibet) as well as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, and Russia (Altay and Chita).[6][1]
