	Brassicaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The flowering plant family Brassicaceae, also called Cruciferae, is known as the mustard family or cabbage family.
		The family was formerly named Cruciferae ("cross-bearing"), because the four petals of their flowers are reminiscent of crosses.
		The mustard family is concentrated in the temperate regions and reaches maximal diversity around the Mediterranean area.

	mustard on Encyclopedia.com
		The easily distinguished flowers of the Cruciferae have four petals arranged diagonally (“cruciform”) and alternating with the four sepals.
		The Cruciferae, often rich in sulfur compounds and in vitamin C, include important food and condiment plants, many cultivated from ancient times.
		Especially important are the herbs of the genus Brassica, e.g., rape, rutabaga, turnip, mustard, and numerous varieties of the cabbage species.

	Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Cruciferae are morphologically diverse and economically valuable, comprise roughly 350 genera and perhaps 3,500 species.
		Even the name "Cruciferae" indicates its importance, for the International Code of Plant Nomenclature makes a rare exception in permitting the continued use of the well-known name for the family.
		Was one to name any single type of chemical compound as particularly characteristic of the family Cruciferae, the glucosinolates, a collection of organic anions with the uniform structure, would be an obvious choice.

	Ecology: Generalization vs. specialization in the pollination system of Hormathophylla spinosa - Cruciferae
		In the present paper, we study the interaction between Hormathophylla spinosa (Cruciferae) and its pollinators in the high mountains of the Sierra Nevada (Granada province, SE Spain).
		By studying simultaneously multiple sources of potential variation in pollination success, we seek to ascertain whether this plant species has a generalized pollination system and, if so, the possible factors by which this generalization is maintained.
		Hormathophylla spinosa (L.) Kupfer (Cruciferae) is an abundant stunted shrub of the high mountains of southern Spain and the western Mediterranean (Kupfer 1993).

	mustard family -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia
		Mustards, cabbages, and their many relatives belong to the scientific family Cruciferae (or Brassicaceae), commonly called the mustard family.
		The name Cruciferae, meaning “cross bearers,” comes from the shape of the flowers.
		Mustard plants belong to the genus Brassica of the mustard family Cruciferae, or Brassicaceae (see mustard family).

		Included in the Cruciferae are vegetables (radish, cabbage, broccoli, turnip, caulifower, Brussels sprouts), ornamental species (stock, sweet alyssum), familiar condiment sources, the bases for both edible and industrial oils, and of course the annual wildflowers and weeds that blanket so many landscapes in spring and summer.

		Isothiocyanates have irritant effects on the skin and can also be allergenic (Mitchell and Jordan 1974).
		(1980) remarked that there was no known taxon belonging to the family Cruciferae that was devoid of glucosinolates.
		However, a few species are known that do not produce mustard oils from their glucosinolates; others release only trace quantities of mustard oils; others release mustard oils that spontaneously cyclise to form oxazolidinethiones (Cole 1976) which are goitrogenic but probably not allergenic.
