The scot oaks ( Erysimum ) are the only genus of the tribe Erysimeae within the plant family of the cruciferous plants (Brassicaceae). The approximately 150 species are widespread in the northern hemisphere . Few kinds are used as medicinal plants and the varieties mainly of one kind are used as ornamental plants.

Appearance and leaves

The Erysimum TYPES grow as a one-, two-year to perennial herbaceous plants , rarely as subshrubs or shrubs . The above-ground parts of the plant are covered with hairy hairs with sitting simple hairs or three to five, rarely up to eight-rayed star hairs ( trichomes ). The independently upright shoot axes are simple or branched in the lower and / or upper area.

The leaves, which are arranged in basal rosettes or alternately on the stem axis, are stalked or sessile. The leaf blades of the basal leaves are usually simple. The simple or pinnately lobed leaf blades of the stem leaves are wedge-shaped to tapering at their base or are seldom eyed and entire or toothed. There are no stipules .

Inflorescences and flowers

The flowers are in the beginning schirmtraubigen inflorescences , up to fruit ripening by stretching the inflorescence axis traubig be. There are usually no, or at the base of the inflorescence bracts present. The flowers are stalked.

The hermaphroditic flowers are radial symmetry and four-fold. The four free, upright, downy hairy sepals are oblong to linear and the base of the lateral sepals can be sac-like. The four petals , which stand together in a cross shape, are almost as long or longer than the length of the sepals. The surfaces of the petals are almost circular, obovate, spatulate or elongated with a rounded or edged upper end. The colors of the petals range from white to yellow and orange to brown or pink to purple. Of the six upright stamens , four are long and two are short. The anthers are elongated or linear. There are one or two of the four free or fused nectar glands . The upper ovary is two-chambered with a septum that connects two parietal placentas. The ovary contains 15 to 100 ovules . The barely recognizable to short or rarely half to almost as long, often downy hairy style ends in a cephalic, simple or bilobed stigma.

Fruits and seeds

The upright, ascending, sparsely protruding or recurved fruit stalks, which are almost adjacent to the fructose rhachis , are straight, slender or thickened with almost the same diameter as the fruit. The pods are rarely 5 to, usually 8 to 11 centimeters and 1.5 to 2 millimeters in length, linear, cylindrical and slightly square (four-sided), flat parallel or perpendicular to the septum and unsegmented. The fruit valves have a barely recognizable to raised central nerve and are hairy on the outside, rarely also on the inside; they can be keeled. The translucent to opaque septum is complete, membranous and without nerves. The pods open with two flaps when ripe and contain many seeds in one or rarely two rows.

The flat or plump, elongated, egg-shaped, obovate or almost spherical seeds can have an edge or wings. The seed coat is tiny, reticulate and slimy when wet. The embryo is very curved.

Sets of chromosomes

The basic chromosome numbers are x = mostly 7 or 8, rarely 6 or 9 to 17.

ecology

Depending on the species, they are therophytes or hemicryptophytes .

The Erysimum species are visited by many species of insects. As pollinators were observed: Hymenoptera (Hymenoptera), Fly (Diptera), Beetles (Coleoptera), butterflies (Lepidoptera) and bugs (Heteroptera).

The diaspores are the seeds.

Systematics and distribution

The genus Erysimum was established in 1753 by Carl von Linné in Species Plantarum , 2, p. 660. Erysimum cheiranthoides L. was specified as the lectotype species in 1925 by Mary Letitia Green in Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information 1925, p. 55. The genus name Erysimum is an old Greek plant name, from eryesthai for to save or to help, this refers to the medicinal properties of some species. Synonyms for Erysimum L. are: Acachmena H.P. Fuchs , Cheiranthus L. , Cheirinia Link , Cuspidaria (DC.) Besser , Dichroanthus Webb & Berthel. , Erysimastrum F.J.Ruprecht , Syrenia Andrz. ex Besser , Zederbauera H.P. Fuchs .

Erysimum is the only genus of the tribe Erysimeae Dumort. within family of the Brassicaceae . The tribe Erysimeae was set up in 1827 by Barthélemy Charles Joseph Dumortier in Florula Belgica, opera majoris prodromus, auctore ... , p. 123.

Phylogenetic analyzes show that early radiation of the genus Erysimum occurred during the late Pliocene or early Pleistocene . Depending on the author, 150 to 350 species are included in the genus Erysimum . The genus Erysimum is widespread in the northern hemisphere , mainly in Eurasia . There are around 17 species in China , five of them only there. Only eight species are native to North Africa and Macaronesia . There are 14 species in North and Central America . All species native to California belong to the family group of Erysimum capitatum ; Hybridization blurs their species boundaries.

There are around 150 Erysimum species (selection):

Goldlack ( Erysimum cheiri ) cultivar 'Covent Garden'

use

Use as ornamental plants

The varieties of gold lacquer ( Erysimum cheiri ), Erysimum diffusum and Erysimum perofskianum are used as ornamental plants in parks and gardens.

Use as food crops

The tender, young, vegetative plant parts of Erysimum hieraciifolium are cooked and eaten as vegetables.

Use as medicinal plants

The active ingredients of many species (for example Erysimum capitatum , Erysimum cheiranthoides , Erysimum cheiri , Erysimum diffusum , Erysimum repandum ) were examined. Presumably, the cardenolide glycosides contained in extracts (for example erycordin, erysimoside, glucostrophalloside, helveticoside) lead to a therapeutic effect.

Ethnobotany

Some species, such as Erysimum canescens , see also gold lacquer ( Erysimum cheiri ), were used in folk medicine . For example, Erysimum capitatum was used by the indigenous peoples of North America as an anti-rheumatic drug , for toothache, as a compress and to prevent sunburn. For example, Erysimum cheiranthoides was used by the indigenous peoples of North America to make a drink from the crushed seeds as a wormer , or a decoction of the underground parts of the plant was used for rashes. Also Erysimum inconspicuum was used by the indigenous peoples of North America.
