458.5006 Genus Valeriana L.; Sp. Pl. [Linnaeus] 1: 31 (1753)
Distribution: High diversity in Mexico and especially the Andes, also secondary centers in North America, Eurasia, South Africa and Russia (ca. 20). All attempts to rescue Valerianella, Fedia and Centranthus from the ´sea of Valeriana´ have failed miserably so far, therefore they need inclusion in the future, but many combinations are still missing. Valeriana celtica also probably belongs in a separate genus (Bell & Donoghue 2005)
