Lepidium (includes former Coronopus
and Cardaria; Brassicaceae) 1:38
Tasmania
has four native and nine introduced species of Lepidium
(peppercresses and swinecresses). These are all herbs,
mostly erect. Like many Brassicaceae the species can be
difficult to identify.
The former Coronopus species, L coronopus
and L. didymum (swinecresses) are now included
in this genus.
