Diplotaxis
Diplotaxis (wall-rocket) is a genus of about 30-35 species of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae, native to Europe, the Mediterranean region, and Macaronesia; the species diversity is highest in northwest Africa and Cape Verde.
They are annual or perennial plants, either herbaceous or sub-shrubby with a woody base. The flowers are yellow in many species, white in some.
