Recent molecular studies, combined with critical evaluation of morphology, support a revision of the generic placement of five species of Sisymbrium (Brassicaceae).Sisymbrium aculeolatum and S. afghanicum (formerly in Neotorularia ) and S. linifolium (formerly in Schoenocrambe ) should be maintained in Sisymbrium.A new name, Erucastrum austroafricanum , is proposed to accom¬ modate the transfer of S. thellungii to Erucastrum and to avoid the creation of a latter homonym.A new combination, E. supinum, is proposed to trans¬ fer S. supinum to Erucastrum.
