Plant family: brassicaceae |
 |
The mustard family was formerly known as cruciferae, because of the
four-petaled, cross-shaped flowers. Nearly all of its members are herbaceous,
and most of them are edible - including such staples as cabbage, beets and
greens. Many small rock garden plants also belong in this family.
I use the GRIN
online query system to determine plant families. The list below shows the
plants in my database listed as members of the brassicaceae family.
Click on the botanical name of any plant to go to the plant portrait. For a
list of all the plant families represented in our garden, see my
families page.
