Weberbauera is a genus of flowering plants in the crucifer family Brassicaceae, native to the central Andes; Peru, Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina. [2] [3]

The genus has simple or branched trichomes, basal leaves with petioles which are linear to oblanceolate or oblong, relatively elongated stems with or without cauline leaves, inflorescences which are ebracteate or basally bracteate racemes which are longer than basal leaves, and seeds without mucilage. The fruit are curved or straight siliques which are torulose or not. [3]

It is quite similar in fruit and flower to Zuloagocardamum and Chilocardamum . [3]

Nasturtium is a genus of a small number of plant species in the family Brassicaceae commonly known as watercress or yellowcress. The best known species are the edible Nasturtium officinale and Nasturtium microphyllum. Nasturtium was previously synonymised with Rorippa, but molecular evidence supports its maintenance as a distinct genus more closely related to Cardamine than to Rorippasensu stricto.

Zuloagocardamum jujuyensis is a very rare, dwarf species of caudiciform cress-like plant in the family Brassicaceae which was first described in 2014. It is endemic to mountains in Jujuy Province in northern Argentina, where it is only known to grow on the grounds of El Aguilar mine at 3,700 meters in altitude. It is only known from a single recent collection. It is the only species in the new genus Zuloagocardamum, a monotypic genus. It is quite similar in fruit and flower to Chilocardamum and Weberbauera, but the taxonomists describing the species decided it was sufficiently distinguished by dint of its well-developed, woody caudex, and extremely reduced, leafless branches bearing small rosulate tufts of linear leaves, and sticky, mucilaginous seeds.

Chilocardamum is a small genus of four herbaceous cress-like species of plants in the family Brassicaceae, only found growing in Patagonia, southern Argentina.
