Description
Herbs, annual , biennial , or perennial , sometimes subshrubs or shrubs, very rarely lianas; taprooted or with few to many-branched and slender or woody caudex, sometimes with slender or tuberous rhizomes, rarely stoloniferous; terrestrial or rarely submerged aquatics, with a pungent watery juice, without or rarely with multicellular glandular papillae or tubercles. Trichomes unicellular, simple , stalked or sessile , 2-many forked, stellate , dendritic or malpighiaceous (medifixed, bifid, appressed ), rarely peltate and scalelike, eglandular. Stems erect , ascending or prostrate , herbaceous or rarely woody , leafy or leafless, sometimes absent. Leaves exstipulate or rarely with tiny, stipule -like glands at base of petioles and pedicels, simple , entire or variously dissected , rarely trifoliolate or pinnately compound ; basal leaf rosette present or absent; cauline leaves almost always alternate or rarely opposite, petiolate or sessile , sometimes absent. Inflorescences racemes, corymbs, or panicles, ebracteate or less frequently bracteate, sometimes flowers solitary on pedicels originating from axils of rosette leaves; pedicels persistent with fruit , variously oriented.

Notes on delimitation
- The Brassicaceae (also known as Cruciferae) is type family of the order Brassicales that includes 17 other families, including the sister family Cleomaceae.
- The tribal classification of the family has been quite controversial, but extensive molecular studies during the past decade have been synthesized to produce a new phylogenetic tribal classification summarized by Al-Shehbaz (2012) into a family-wide generic and tribal synopsis. In this new classification system, the small SW Asian-Mediterranean tribe Aethionemeae (ca. 45 spp.) is sister to the rest of the family which is divided into three major lineages.
- The small tribes Eudemeae (7 genera, 31 spp.), Cremolobeae (2 genera, 32 spp.), and Schizopetaleae (2 genera, 16 spp.) are endemic to South America, and their centres of diversity are in the Neotropics.
- The New World tribes Thelypodieae and Halimolobeae, but not Physarieae, are more diversified in the Neotropics than in North America. Draba L.(ca. 390 spp. worldwide) is represented in South America by 70 species, all except four of which are endemic to the Neotropics.
There are 274 genera in the Neotropics, of which 36 are naturalised
- Aschersoniodoxa Gilg & Muschl. (4 spp.)
- Barbarea W.T. Aiton (1 sp. naturalised)
- Brassica L. (5 spp. naturalised)
- Brayopsis Gilg & Muschl. (6 spp.)
- Cakile Mill. (1 sp.)
- Capsella Medik. (1 sp. naturalised)

- Cremolobus DC. (7 spp.)
- Dactylocardamum Al-Shehbaz (1 spp.)
- Descurainia Webb & Berthel. (7 spp.)
- Dictyophragmus O.E. Schulz (2 spp.)
- Diplotaxis DC. (1 sp. naturalised)
- Draba L. (66 spp.)
- Englerocharis Muschl. (4 spp.)
- Eruca Mill. (1 sp. naturalised)
- Erysimum L.(1 sp.)
- Eudema Humb. & Bonpl. (4 spp.)
- Exhalimolobus Al-Shehbaz & C.D. Bailey (4 spp.)
- Hirschfeldia Moech (1 sp. naturalised)
- Hornungia Rchb. (1 sp. naturalised)
- Iberis L. (2 spp. naturalised)
- Isatis L. (1 sp. naturalised)
- Lepidium L. (29 spp. & 1 naturalised)
- Lobularia Desv. (1 sp. naturalised)
- Mancoa Wedd. (3 spp.)
- Mathewsia Hook. & Arn. (4 spp.)
- Matthiola W.T. Aiton (2 spp. naturalised)
- Menonvillea DC. (6 spp.)
- Mostacillastrum O.E. Schulz (13 spp.)
- Nasturtium W.T. Aiton (1 sp. & 1 sp naturalised)
- Neuontobotrys O.E. Schulz (9 spp.)
- Pennellia Nieuwl. (4 spp.)
- Petroravenia Al-Shehbaz (1 sp.)
- Physaria (Nutt. ex Torr. & A. Gray) A. Gray (1 sp.)
- Polypsecadium O.E. Schulz (8 spp.)
- Raphanus L. (2 spp. naturalised)
- Rapistrum Crantz (1 sp. naturalised)
- Romanschulzia O.E. Schulz (4 spp.)
- Rorippa Scop. (12 spp. and 3 spp. naturalised)
- Sibara Greene (5 spp.)
- Sinapis L. (2 spp. naturalised)
- Sisymbrium L. (4 spp. naturalised)
- Thlaspi L. (1 sp. naturalised)
- Weberbauera Gilg & Muschl. (16 spp.)
- The Brassicaceae include several important crop plants grown in the Neotropics as vegetables (e.g., species of Brassica and Raphanus).
- The only native Neotropical crop is Lepidiummeyenii (maca) cultivated in the high Peruvian Andes and consumed locally.
- Vegetable oils of various Brassica species, especially B. napus L. (canola), probably rank first in terms of the world's tonnage production, but have not been grown in our area.
- Several ornamentals are listed above, and 27 of the 36 naturalized species are weedy elsewhere. Lepidium didymum L. and L. bonariense L. are among that notable native South American weeds that have become naturalized elsewhere in the world.
- The native species of our area grow (Neotropics?) primarily at high altitudes, and only some species of Rorippa and Cardamine grow in typical tropical lowlands.
- Genera Aschersoniodoxa, Brayopsis, Cremolobus, Dactylocardamum, Englerocharis, and Eudema are endemic. The vast majority of native species (ca. 210 spp.) are endemic to the Neotropics.
- Three species of Brassica (cabbage, cauliflower, turnip) and one of Raphanus (radish) are cultivated crops and also naturalized.
- Lobularia maritima (L.) Desv. is a cultivated ornamental widely naturalized. Less commonly naturalized are Malcolmia maritima (L.) W.T. Aiton, Matthiola incana (L.) W.T. Aiton, and Iberis species.
- Distribution
-
Distribution in the Neotropics
- The Neotropical Brassicaceae include 274 species in 45 genera, of which the 238 native species belong to 28 genera.
- The 36 naturalized species belong to 21 genera of which four have both native and introduced species.
- The most speciose genera are Draba and Lepidium (see below).
- Diagnostic
-
Distinguishing characters (always present)
- The Brassicaceae are easily distinguished by the cruciform corolla and tetradynamous stamens (see family description). The exceptions are in some species of Lepidium that have only two stamens and a rudimentary or absent corolla.
- The characteristic capsule (often called silique or silicle; see above) is distinctive in the family for all species with dehiscent fruits, in which the fruit valves fall off and the 'false' septum remains.
- The three distinctive features above collectively occur in the vast majority of species, and when one or two features do not apply then the third would help. For example, in Lepidium spp. with two stamens and apetalous flowers, the fruit type described above is distinctive.
- In genera such as Isatis and Rapistrum, both with indehiscent fruits and naturalized species in the Neotropics, species are easily placed in the family by the cruciform corolla and tetradynamous stamens.
- From the sister family Cleomaceae, the Neotropical Brassicaceae are easily distinguished by having actinomorphiccorolla, fruit septum, and curved embryos without a gap between the radicle and cotyledons, as well as by lacking the stipules and palmately compound leaves.
Only native ones: see terminology in family description
- Aschersoniodoxa: scapose plants with large, oblanceolate, flattened fruits.
- Brayopsis: flowers and fruits on solitary pedicels originating from a perennialrosette.
- Cakile: seashore plants with corky, 2-segmented fruits.
- Cardamine: often compound leaves and linear fruits with flattened replum.
- Descurainia: 2- or 3-pinnatisect leaves, dendritic trichomes, dehiscent siliques.
- Lepidium: flattened, angustiseptate, 2-seeded dehiscent silicles.
- Mancoa: angustiseptate, many-seeded fruits and branched trichomes.
- Mathewsia: subshrubs with yellow flowers, dendritic trichomes, and broadly flattened large fruits.
- Romanschulzia: filaments spreading, equal in length, strongly enlarged at base; sepals spreading, soon falling.
