Biscutella laevigata

provided by wikipedia EN

Biscutella laevigata, the buckler-mustard[1] is a species of perennial herb in the family crucifers. They have a self-supporting growth form. They are associated with freshwater habitat. They have simple, broad leaves. Individuals can grow to 0.23 m.

Biscutella has been proposed for phytoremediation, as it can collect large amounts of thallium.[2]

Cultivation

Rapidly germinating, keep seed in constant moisture (not wet) with temperatures of about +20 °C [68 °F]. Seeds must be covered thinly. Do not cover very small seeds, but tightly press into the earth. Keep in cooler conditions after germination occurs.[3]

Subspecies

  • Biscutella laevigata varia
  • Biscutella laevigata lucida
  • Biscutella laevigata kerneri
