This genus, typically characterized by having small flowers with a constricted corollathroat, was subdivided into six sections: sect. Samuelia Schlechtd., sect. Mirabiles (Hand.-Mazz. ) Yang Huang, sect. Androsace , sect. Chamaej asme Koch., sect. A iz oidium Hand.-Mazz., and sect. Orthocaulon Hand.-Mazz. In this genus, the specieswith cushion_likegrowth belong to sect. Chamaej asme occurring in alpine habitats. There are other three small genera in the tribe An- drosaceae .
