It is divided in 4 subgenera with distinct morphological features, which may partially explain the various tibetan names. Subgenus Eryogone or 'Snowball plants' has dense hairy flower heads, subgenus Amphilaena or 'Snow lotus' has bracts which close over the flowers, creating a greenhouse-effect. The other subgenera have open, scabious-like flowerheads.
