Erucastrum

not marked as a favorite taxon *Erucastrum gallicum (Willdenow) O.E. Schulz. Common name: Dog-mustard, Rocket-weed, French Rocket. Phenology: Apr-Sep. Habitat: Disturbed areas. Distribution: Native of Europe. Luken, Thieret, and Kartesz (1993) discussed the introduction and spread of E. gallicum in North America. While only weakly naturalized in our region, E. gallicum seems likely to increase in abundance. The report of Brassica erucastrum for North Carolina in RAB is apparently based on material of Coincya muralis (Naczi & Thieret (1996).
