Family:  Cruciferae
Author:  (O.E.Schultz.)Dandy.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  1   Mature Width:  0.6

Habitat:  Endemic to the cliffs and slopes on the eastern side of Lundy Island[17].

Cultivation Notes: A very rare plant, it is only found growing wild on Lundy Island in the Bristol channel[17]. It requires a sunny position in a well-drained soil[K]. The plant is fairly hardy and should succeed outdoors in most parts of the country, though it tends to droop somewhat in very cold weather. It can provide edible leaves all year round, though there are scant pickings as the plant comes into flower and for a month or so afterwards[K]. Plants are generally quite short-lived perennials, though they usually self-sow freely when well-sited[K].
