BRASSICACEAE

The Brassicaceae or Cabbage family is one of the most distinctive families, with its four petals arranged crosswise. Some other superficially similar four-petalled flowers are Greater Celandine, Tormentil and other potentillas, Willowherbs and Bedstraws. The shape of the fruits is one of the most important clues to Brassicaceae identity.
