You could start here : http://erysimums.onesuffolk.net/the-collection/collecting-erysimums/ (http://erysimums.onesuffolk.net/the-collection/collecting-erysimums/)

Then there's this paper of the species in Bulgaria : http://www.landesmuseum.at/pdf_frei_remote/ANNA_107B_0227-0273.pdf (http://www.landesmuseum.at/pdf_frei_remote/ANNA_107B_0227-0273.pdf)

and there are quite a few net-pages such as this :  http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s1866697.htm (http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s1866697.htm)

 But I'm not aware of a book on these plants - but I'd almost bet someone will know!

Thank you so much for your reply Maggie. I am going to spend some time this evening researching your suggested material which looks really really interesting. Maybe a member may come across this post and come up with a book on the subject. Once again many thanks.~ gardenelf.
