*Thlaspi Linnaeus. Common name: Pennycress.

Key to Thlaspi

A genus of about 6 species, as much more narrowly circumscribed, annual herbs, native to Eurasia and n. Africa. Mummenhoff & Koch (1994), Meyer (1973, 1979), Koch & Al-Shehbaz (2004), and Al-Shehbaz (2014) discuss the reasons for separating Noccaea from Thlaspi; they are now additionally treated in separate tribes.
