Distribution: Mostly Himalaya (about 250 spp.), Indochina, temp. Asia, Europe, Africa (Morocco), few E-Australia, Central and South America. The taxonomic status (level) of many species, especially in the Himalayas in ser. Chondrophyllae, is highly disputed. We follow mostly the system of Halda (1995) using many infraspecific taxa.
