Hornungia is a small genus of plants in the family Brassicaceae. It currently contains three species that have previously been classified as members of other genera, including Hutchinsia and Pritzelago.[1] The genera, and sometimes several others, are usually treated as synonyms.
Species:
- Hornungia alpina (syn. Hutchinsia alpina)
- Hornungia petraea (syn. Hutchinsia petraea)
- Hornungia procumbens (syn. Hutchinsia procumbens)
These are fleshy annuals with white flowers native to Eurasia. One species, H. procumbens, is also widespread in North America.
