Cakile (Brassicaceae) 1:37

Tasmania has two introduced species of Cakile (Sea Rocket). They grow on beaches and are characterised by their thick, succulent leaves, large, white-purple flowers. C. edulenta is widespread on coasts and has entire leaves. C. maritima is more common on the Bass Strait islands. Its leaves (at least the lower ones) are pinnately divided. The two species are sometimes difficult to discriminate and some intermediate forms may be hybrids.
