Description

Lepidium L., Sp. Pl.: 643. 1753.

Tribe: Lepidieae DC.

Notes. – Lepidium is third largest genus in the Brassicaceae after Draba and Erysimum, with 259 species represented by native taxa on all continents except Antarctica.

Based on extensive developmental and molecular phylogenetic studies (e.g., BOWMAN et al., 1999; MUMMENHOFF et al., 2001, 2004, 2009), Lepidium was expanded by AL-SHEHBAZ et al. (2002), AL-SHEHBAZ (2003), and AL-SHEHBAZ & MUMMENHOFF (2010) to include Cardaria Desv., Coronopus Zinn, Hymenophysa C.A. Mey., Stroganowia Kar. & Kir., Stubendorffia Schrenk ex Fish., and Winklera Regel.
