Pringlea
''Pringlea antiscorbutica'', commonly known as Kerguelen cabbage, is a flowering plant and the sole member of the monotypic genus ''Pringlea'' in the cabbage family, Brassicaceae. Its common name comes from the archipelago of its discovery, the Kerguelens, and its generic name derives from Sir John Pringle, President of the Royal Society at the time of its discovery by Captain James Cook's Surgeon, William Anderson in 1776.
==Distribution==
The species grows on the Heard Island and McDonald Islands, Crozet, Prince Edward and Kerguelen Islands. These remote islands are at roughly 50° South Latitude, constantly buffeted by strong winds. This climatic feature is unfavorable for wind pollination, excepting on infrequent mild days, and this plus the absence of potential insect pollinators explains why the Kerguelen cabbage is self-pollinating. At the mature stage, this species exhibits several adaptations linked to cold tolerance such as high polyamine levels.
