Iberis amara, called wild candytuft, rocket candytuft and bitter candytuft, is a species of flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae, native to Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. It has been introduced to numerous locations including Algeria, Sweden, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Iraq, Kazakhstan, the Indian Subcontinent, Korea, Far Eastern Russia, New Zealand, Argentina, Ecuador, Hispaniola, the United States, and Canada. It prefers to grow in warm and sunny conditions, in high-calcium soil.

Description

I. amara is a branched erect annual typically Шаблон:Cvt tall, sometimes reaching Шаблон:Cvt. Its stems are more or less hairy below and glabrous above, with leaves scattered along their lengths. Leaf blades are simple, with those lower on the stem spathulate and reaching about Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, and those higher up lanceolate or oblongШаблон:Nbhcuneate and as small as Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. All are more or less sparsely dentate towards their apices.

The ebracteate inflorescence is a lax racemose corymb, bearing 10 to 30 flowers, and elongating to Шаблон:Cvt when in fruit. Individual flowers are about Шаблон:Cvt across, borne on a filiform pedicel, which is either spreading or ascending, and about Шаблон:Cvt long. There are four petals, which in wildШаблон:Nbhtype individuals are white or pale violet, with cultivated varieties available in deeper shades of pink, violet or fuchsia.

The petals are prominently unequal, with the outer two nearly twice as long as the sepals. This is controlled by the timing of the expression of the IaTCP1 gene (a member of the TCP protein domain family), which induces extra cell proliferation in the two larger petals, which are Шаблон:Cvt Шаблон:Cvt long, obovate-oblong, and cuneate beneath.

The suborbicular siliculae (fruit) are typically Шаблон:Cvt, reaching Шаблон:Cvt in diameter, with deeply notched apices, and wings which widen somewhat towards the top. The styles are as long as or slightly exceed the apical notch, with valves that have reticulate veins. The reddish-brown seeds are about Шаблон:Cvt long, broadly ovate, and weakly winged beneath.
