ABSTRACT
The modern classification of the Brassicaceae is based on the revision by Schulz (1936) (1), who greatly contributed to the knowledge of this family in his work “ Cruciferae,” published one year after his death. Janchen (1942) (2) published a rather thorough revision of Schulz’s system, in particular he reduced the number of the family’s tribes from 19 to 15. Nowadays the Brassicaceae family comprises 13 tribes.
