alyssum
''Alyssum'' is a genus of about 100–170 species of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae, native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa, with the highest species diversity in the Mediterranean region. The genus comprises annual and perennial herbaceous plants or (rarely) small shrubs, growing to 10–100 cm tall, with oblong-oval leaves and yellow or white flowers (pink to purple in a few species).
The genera ''Lobularia'' and ''Aurinia'' are closely related to ''Alyssum'' and were formerly included in it. The widely cultivated species popularly known as "sweet alyssum" is ''Lobularia maritima''. The common rockery plant is ''Aurinia saxatilis''.
''Alyssum'' foliage is used as food by the caterpillars of certain Lepidoptera, including the Gem (''Orthonama obstipata''). However, rabbits will not eat it.〔http://www.gardenguides.com〕
