Das Steinkraut -
The Alyssum
Die Pflanzengattung Steinkräuter (Alyssum) gehört zur Familie der Kreuzblütengewächse (Brassicaceae). Die Alyssum-Arten haben ihre Heimat hauptsächlich im südwestlichen Asien, Südosteuropa und Nordafrika. Ein Schwerpunkt der Artenvielfalt ist das Mittelmeergebiet. Nur sechs Arten kommen in Nordamerika vor.
Alyssum is a genus of about 100–170 species of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae, native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa, with the highest species diversity in the Mediterranean region. The genus comprises annual and perennial herbaceous plants or (rarely) small shrubs, growing to 10–100 cm tall, with oblong-oval leaves and yellow or white flowers (pink to purple in a few species). The genera Lobularia and Aurinia are closely related to Alyssum and were formerly included in it. The widely cultivated species popularly known as "sweet alyssum" is Lobularia maritima. The common rockery plant is Aurinia saxatilis. Alyssum foliage is used as food by the caterpillars of certain Lepidoptera, including the Gem (Orthonama obstipata). However, rabbits will not eat it.
