About

Borodinia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae. Species of the genus have a native range from southern Siberia and northern China, and from eastern Canada to the central and eastern United States. It was named by Nikolai Busch in 1921 to honor Ivan Borodin.

Species of this genus were formerly classified in the genus Boechera but were transferred to the genus Borodinia based on 2013 genetic analysis of this clade.
