Sibbaldia is a genus of flowering plants of the family Rosaceae, with a circumpolar distribution, including the high Arctic. Most of the species are found in the Himalaya. The type species is Sibbaldia procumbens.

Species

Recent morphological and genetic studies have shown that Sibbaldia is polyphyletic, with some species needing synonymizing or reassignment to (or from) other genera, including Sibbaldianthe, Chamaecallis, and Potentilla.[2] Additionally, one of the three species of Sibbaldiopsis should be renamed Sibbaldia retusa once some clarity regarding the identity of their specimens is achieved. Species currently accepted by The Plant List,[3] with suggested reassignments are as follows:
