Sclerocalymma Aellen, is closely related to A. rosea Linnaeus and A. tatarica. It occurs in the Pamir mountains and EC Asia, and was reported by Grubov (Rast. Tsentral. Azii 2: 32. 1966) from N and W Xinjiang (Shache near the Yarkant river and other localities).

Atriplex altaica Sukhorukov (Feddes Repert. 111: 176. 2000), also a representative of A. sect. Sclerocalymma, was recently described from the Altai mountains of Russia and reported from NW China, although no exact Chinese localities were cited in the protologue. According to Sukhorukov, it is closely related to A. pamirica (recognized here as A. tatarica var. pamirica) and belongs to the A. tatarica aggregate.
