Hornungia is a small genus of plants in the family Brassicaceae. It currently contains three species that have previously been classified as members of other genera, including Hutchinsia and Pritzelago.[2] The genera, and sometimes several others, are usually treated as synonyms.

Species

[edit | edit source]

Seven species are accepted.[1]

These are fleshy annuals with white flowers native to Eurasia. One species, H. procumbens, is also widespread in North America.
