[3] A description of Cheiranthus pallasii was first published by Frederick Traugott Pursh in 1813.

[5] E. pallasii was considered to be a synonym of E. redowskii by Adolf Polatschek in 2010 and 2012 listings of Erysimum species.

[6][7] The synonymy is accepted by Plants of the World Online, as of April 2021[update].

[1] It is widespread in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, and common in Greenland, Northwest Canada[where?]

[8] This species seems to be apomictic, since it is scarcely visited by insects and seed production is independent of flower visitors.
