Title: Thlaspi and a Brassicaceae
Post by: Kovacs Pal on April 04, 2010, 10:18:23 PM

I would like to ask the names of the following two plants.
The Thlaspi is smaller and more compact than T. stylosum.
Thank
Pál Kovács

Pal, your Thlaspi looks like one I grew as T.rotundifolium cepaefolium, although it was from a seed exchange. The other also looks like a Thlaspi species.

Simon,
Thank you for answer. Earlier I got T. rotundifolium cepaefolium too and that was more similar to T. stylosum. But I looked up pictures on net and I agree with you. It can be T. rotundifolium cepaefolium and my earlier plant had a bad name.
Can the second one an Arabis?

From the picture you have just now it looks more like one of the taller European Thlaspi species. It will be easier to say if it is Arabis or Thlaspi when you can see the seedpods. Arabis pods should be long, Thlaspi should be flat and heart-shaped.
