M. Gaudichaud’s description of Brassica Macloviana so en- 
tirely accords with this plant, that I have no hesitation in pro- 
nouncing the two to be the same ; but I do not see that the spe- 
cies can be referred to Brassica. It possesses quite the habit and 
I think the character of Aradis, The valves of the siliqua have 
three peculiarly strong prominent nerves, and the lateral ones, 
being perhaps the most prominent, give a somewhat 4-angled 
or 4-sided character to the fruit.
