Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Automatic taxobox

Crambe is a genus of annual and perennial flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae, native to a variety of habitats in Europe, Turkey, southwest and central Asia and eastern Africa. They carry dense racemes of tiny white or yellow flowers on (mostly leafless) stems above the basal leaves.[1] Crambe hispanica subsp. abyssinica, formerly known as Crambe abyssinica, is grown for the oil from the seeds that has characteristics similar to whale oil.

The word "crambe" derives, via the Latin crambe, from the Greek κράμβη, a kind of cabbage.[2]

Crambe species are used as food plants by the larvae of the weevil Lixus canescens (Coleoptera)[3] and some Lepidoptera species including the lime-speck pug.
