Parodiodoxa is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae.[1] It just contains one species, Parodiodoxa chionophila (Speg.) O.E.Schulz [2]

Its native range is northwestern Argentina.[2]

The genus name of Parodiodoxa is in honour of Lorenzo Raimundo Parodi (1895–1966), an Argentinian botanist and agricultural engineer, professor of botany in Buenos Aires and La Plata, with a focus on South American grasses.[3] The Latin specific epithet of chionophila means snow lover.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berlin-Dahlem Vol.10 on pages 781-783 in 1929.[2]
