Title: Lithodraba mendocinensis F&W 10708
Post by: J.B.Wyllie on July 18, 2012, 10:20:40 AM

I am now sorting the side of my alpine house that has not had much done except for water due to me not being to well for the last 3 years. This plant was given to me in 05 and I cannot find out anything about it. Help. It may have had a name change!

Thanks Jean

Kew Plant List says :
Lithodraba mendocinensis (Hauman) Boelcke   is an accepted name
This name is the accepted name of a species in the genus Lithodraba (family Brassicaceae). 

Xerodraba mendocinensis Hauman is listed as a synonym.

One of the south american plants that forms a hard cushion.  Not sure whether it is likely to flower much in Sunny Dunny!
