Valvate , yellow , inferior
• Androecium: 6 stamens, polyandrous , Basifixed,
Tetradynamous arrangement in two whorals
Outer whorl : 2 short stamens
Inner whorl : 4 long stamens
• Gynoecium: Bicarpellary, syncarpous, superior ovary , long , cylindrical,
unilocular become bilocular due to replum
• Floral Flormula:
( sign x after c indicates that the petals are
diagonally placed
Economic Importance of Brassicaceae:
• Vegitable yielding plants:
Raphanus sativa (Raddiah), Brassica rapa (Turnip), stem of B. cauloropa
(var Gyanth gobi) and leaves and stem of B. oleraceae var capitalsa
( cabbage), B. Juncea (ryosag), Inflorescence of B. oleraceae (cauliflower)
are used as vegitables.
• Fatty oil yieldingplants:
Brassica compestris(mustard), B. rapa (Turnip) ,
B. napus (tori) etc used for extraction of the
oils
• spices:
B.nigra (black mustard), B. hista (white
mustard), B. Juncea(Indian mustard) are
used as spices.
• Medical Plant :
. Seedsof Iberia amara (candytuft), Rarnippa indica are use in Asthma
The flower of Cheiranthuscheiri are used to cure for curing branchitis fever,
eyes injuries.
• Ornamental plants:
some species are used as ornamental plant in gardens:
These are Iberis amara
