Alyssum minutum is a species of flowering plant in the genus Alyssum , family Brassicaceae, native to the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe.
An annual herbaceous plant, typically reaching a size of 5–10 cm, it grows on gravelly soil, rocky slopes and dry grassland. [2] [3] It flowers from March until early summer. [4] Its chromosome number is 2n=16. [5]
The plant is found in scattered locations on the Iberian Peninsula (at elevations of 1000–2000 m in the Baetic System and in the central and northwestern parts of the peninsula), [6] [7] Italy (Sardinia, Sicily and Calabria), [6] Greece (throughout the mainland, Crete, Lesbos and some of the larger islands; at elevations of 500–1900 m, rarely as low as sea level or as high as 2200 m), [5] [3] in southern Albania, North Macedonia, southeastern Serbia, [6] Bulgaria (in the Upper Thracian Plain and the north-east), [8] in eastern Romania, northern Moldova, in Ukraine (especially in the Black Sea Lowland and in Crimea), [6] western and central Turkey, in Cyprus, West Syria, [9] Lebanon, Egypt and Morocco. [10] It was reported as present in the Caucasus by the 1939 Flora of USSR, [11] but this is not mentioned in the other sources cited here.
The sand leek, also known as rocambole and Korean pickled-peel garlic, is a Eurasian species of wild onion with a native range extending across much of Europe, Middle East, and Korea. The species should not be confused with rocambole garlic, which is A. sativum var. ophioscorodon.
Geum rivale, the water avens, is a flowering plant in the genus Geum within the family Rosaceae.

Alyssum is a genus of over a hundred species of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae, native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa, with the highest species diversity in the Mediterranean region. The genus comprises annual and perennial herbaceous plants or (rarely) small shrubs, growing to 10–100 cm tall, with oblong-oval leaves. Alyssum flowers are characteristically small and grouped in terminal clusters; they are often yellow or white colored but can be pink or purple.
Alyssoides is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae containing a single species, Alyssoides utriculata. A herbaceous perennial plant native to Southern Europe and Turkey, it grows on dry rocky slopes and on calcareous rocks, reaching heights of 20 to 50 cm and blooming with yellow flowers between April and May–July.

Diplotaxis tenuifolia is a species of flowering plant in the mustard family known by the common name perennial wall-rocket. It is native to Europe and West Asia, where it grows on disturbed ground and roadsides, and it can now be found throughout much of the temperate world where it has naturalized. In recent years it has increasingly been cultivated to produce salad leaves, which are marketed as wild rocket in Britain or arugula in the US. It is easily confused with garden rocket, which has similar uses.
Sibbaldia procumbens is a species of flowering plant of the genus Sibbaldia in the rose family. It has an Arctic–alpine distribution; it can be found throughout the Arctic, as well as at higher elevations in the mountains of Eurasia and North America. It grows on tundra and in alpine climates where snow remains year-round, and on subalpine mountain slopes. This is a low, mat-forming perennial herb producing clumps of herbage in rocky, gravelly substrate. A spreading stem up to 15 centimeters long grows from a caudex. Each leaf is divided into usually three leaflets borne at the end of a petiole up to 7 centimeters long. Each wedge-shaped leaflet has three teeth at the tip. The flower has usually five pointed green bractlets, five wider pointed green sepals, and five tiny yellowish petals each about a millimeter long. The fruits develop in the remnants of the sepals on erect stalks.
