Cruciferae

Also known as: Cabbage

Cruciferae is a family of plants characterized by four-petaled flowers, usually arranged in a cross shape, which serve as a hallmark. Members often have simple leaves and seedpods known as silique, typically elongated and slender, which aid in distributing seeds effectively with the wind. This group thrives in a variety of habitats, often preferring cooler climates. Their adaptive features allow them to resist pests and diseases, making them ecologically robust.
