Read about Ionopsidium in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Ionopsidium (Greek, violet-like). Cruciferae. One pretty, tufted little plant, growing 2 or 3 in. high and bearing numerous small 4-petaled, lilac fls. from spring to fall. It is a half-hardy perennial from Portugal and N. Afr., but is treated as an annual. It is desirable for edgings in moist shady places, and for rockeries; also as a pot subject in window-gardening. In rich garden soil the plants make numerous runners. The fls. are about ½ in. across, 1 on each stalk. They open white and turn lilac. The plant has been advertised as the diamond flower. This plant is referred by some to Cochlearia, a genus whose limits are very uncertain. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
