'''''Alyssum''''' is a [[genus]] of about 100-170 species of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Brassicaceae]], native to [[Europe]], [[Asia]], and northern [[Africa]], with the highest species diversity in the [[Mediterranean region]].
 +
 +
The genus comprises [[annual plant|annual]] and [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[herbaceous]] plants or (rarely) small [[shrub]]s, growing to 10–100 cm tall, with oblong-oval leaves and yellow or white flowers (pink to purple in a few species).
 +
 +
The genera ''[[Lobularia]]'' and ''[[Aurinia]]'' are closely related to ''Alyssum'' and were formerly included in it. The widely cultivated species popularly known as "Sweet Alyssum" is ''[[Lobularia maritima]]''. The common rockery plant is ''[[Aurinia saxatilis]]''.
