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]
Currently accepted species include: [4]
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.
Draba is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae, commonly known as whitlow-grasses.
Heliophila is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. Members of this genus are either annuals or perennials and some are popular as ornamental plants. Endemic to southern Africa, the majority of the approximately 80 species grow in South Africa, particularly the Cape Floristic Region, while a few extend into the Namib Desert.
Eudema is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. It contains ten species native to South America, ranging from Ecuador and Peru to Bolivia and northwestern Argentina.
Cardamine angustata is a perennial forb native to the eastern United States, that produces white to pink or purple flowers in early spring.
Petroravenia is a genus of plants in the family Brassicaceae, first described in 1994. There are to date only two species proposed as members of the genus:
Solms-laubachia is a high-altitude genus of perennial herbs in the family Brassicaceae. It is named for the German botanist Hermann zu Solms-Laubach.
Krapfia is a genus of plants in the family Ranunculaceae, native to the Andes.
Yinshania,, is a genus of flowering plants in the crucifer family Brassicaceae, native to China and northern Vietnam. Species in Yinshania are diploid, and species in a proposed related genus, Hilliella, are polyploid.
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.
Polypsecadium is a genus of large herbaceous species of plants in the family Brassicaceae, found growing in South America. Most of the species were formerly classified in the genus Sisymbrium.
Machaerophorus is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae.
Mancoa is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae.
Pennellia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae.
Dictyophragmus is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae.
Englerocharis is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae.
Neuontobotrys is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae.
Sarcodraba is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae.
