Taxonomy

The basionym of Sanrobertia gypsophila is Aster gypsophilus (B.L.Turner), first published in 1974. In 1995 [1994], Guy L. Nesom reclassified it as Symphyotrichum gypsophilum (B.L.Turner) G.L.Nesom, as it appeared closely related to the virguloid species in the Symphyotrichum genus. Nesom's subsequent molecular analysis places it in its monotypic genus within the subtribe Symphyotrichinae of the tribe Astereae.[3]

Distribution and habitat

Sanrobertia gypsophila is known only gypsum flats and llanos near Entronque San Roberto (San Roberto Junction) in Nuevo León, Mexico.[3]
