Discussion
Species ca. 5 (1 in the flora).
Described as “debatably phytolaccaceous” by G. K. Rogers (1985), Gisekia has been referred also to Aizoaceae, Molluginaceae, and even Portulacaceae—and, perhaps the best solution, to its own family, Gisekiaceae.
The generic name is sometimes misspelled as “Giesekia.”
