Polypsecadium is a genus of large herbaceous species of plants in the family Brassicaceae, found growing in South America. Most of the species were formerly classified in the genus Sisymbrium.
It has been found in the countries of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The Plants of the World Online website claims it is native to Venezuela, this is a mistake based on a formerly misidentified specimen of P. solidagineum by Pittier et al. from 1945, the specimen in question was later determined to be either Mostacillastrum pandurifolium or Exhalimolobos hispidulus. Argentina appears to have the most biodiversity in this genus at this time.
