Farsetia Turra, Farsetia: 5. 1765.

Tribe: Anastaticeae DC.

Notes. – A genus of 27 species distributed from North and East Africa eastward into southern Southwest Asia into Pakistan, with the highest concentration of species in eastern Africa (Ethiopia into Somalia) and southern Arabian Peninsula.

Farsetia was broadly delimited by FOURNIER (1864) to encompass Fibigia Medik., but the two genera have very different trichome types, and they belong to the unrelated tribes Anastaticeae and Alysseae, respectively.
