Bugseeds are native to North America and Eurasia, but little is known about their taxonomy and distribution.

Species include:

Corispermum americanum - American bugseed
Corispermum hyssopifolium - tumbleweed,[1] tumble-weed;[2] this species forms a tumbleweed
Corispermum ochotense - Russian bugseed
Corispermum pallasii - Siberian bugseed
