'''''Rorippa''''' is a [[flowering plant]] genus in the [[cabbage]] family ([[Brassicaceae]]), containing approximately 80 species native to [[Europe]] through central [[Asia]], [[Africa]], and [[North America]]. ''Rorippa'' species are [[annual plant|annual]] to [[perennial]] [[herb]]s, usually with yellow [[flower]]s and a peppery flavour. ''Rorippa'' formerly included several species of [[watercress]], now placed in the genus ''[[Nasturtium (scientific name)|Nasturtium]]''. In particular, ''R. nasturtium-aquaticum'' (now ''[[Nasturtium officinale|N. officinale]]'') and ''R. microphylla'' (now ''[[Nasturtium microphyllum|N. microphyllum]]'') are often referred to as species of ''Rorippa''. {{Inc| Roripa (etymology unexplained) ; originally spelled Rorippa, but later emended by its author. Cruciferae. Here are included the plants long known as Nasturtium (but not the garden flowers of that name, which belong in Tropaeolum), and by some later botanists as Radicula. By a ruling of the International Botanical Congress at Brussels, however, the name Radicula is not permissible as it is based on a morphological character; therefore, the plants are transferred (at least temporarily) to Roripa. Under Roripa, the species become R. Nasturtium, Rusby (Sisymbrium Nasturtium-aqudticum, Linn. Radícula Nasturtium-aquaticum, Brit. & Rend.), the water-cress; R. Armoracia, Hitchc. (Radiada Armoracia, Rob.), the horse-radish; R. indica, Bailey (Sisymbriumindicum, Linn. Nasturtiumindicum, DC.), the tropical cress. }} Describe the plant here... ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ''[[Rorippa alpina]]'' (S. Wats.)
