Name

Thlaspi L., Sp. Pl. 2: 645 (1753).

Type species: Thlaspi arvense L., Sp. Pl. 2: 646 (1753).

Note: There are two opinions concerning the circumscription of this genus (Koch & Mummenhoff, 2001), but Thlaspi s.str. sensu Meyer (2001), excluding Thlaspi watsonii has gained the widest acceptance - see Discussion Page. See also Esmailbegi et al. (2018) for further work on this genus.

Thlaspi, or pennycress,[1] is a genus of herbs of temperate regions of the Eurasian continent. They occur in Central and South Europe, South-West Asia and two species are endemic to China. The Thlaspi has been proven to be a hyperaccumulator of heavy metals such as zinc and cadmium and therefore may be used in phytoremediation initiatives.[2]
