Under the name Noccaea alpestris this species has been separated from genus Thlaspi not very long ago, together with some closer related species. Formerly the name of the species was Thlaspi alpestre, exactly Thlaspi alpestre JAQU., non L.. The species is spread in the mountains of Southern Carinthia and adjoining Slowenia.
There is another species with the name Thlaspi alpestre from another author, exactly Thlaspi alpestre L., non JAQU., which is a synonyme of Thlaspi caerulescens.
