brassicaceae
Cabbage plant family
Brassicaceae is the mustard family, a large group of flowering plants that includes many familiar vegetables and condiments.
Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, turnips, radishes, and mustard all belong to this family.
The plants typically have four-petaled flowers arranged in a cross shape, which gave rise to the older family name Cruciferae.
Botanists and gardeners use this term when discussing plant classification or crop rotation. (Capitalized Brassicaceae is the standard form in botanical nomenclature.)
