Everything about Eruca Vesicaria totally explained
Eruca vesicaria (syn.
Brassica vesicaria L.) is a species of
Eruca native to the western
Mediterranean region, in
Morocco,
Algeria, and
Spain. It is closely related to
Eruca sativa; that species is included in
E. vesicaria by some botanists either as a
subspecies E. vesicaria subsp.
sativa or not distinguished at all;
E. vesicaria can be distinguished from
E. sativa by its persistent
sepals.
It is an
annual plant growing to 20–100 cm tall. The
leaves are deeply pinnately lobed with four to ten small lateral lobes and a large terminal lobe. The
flowers are 2–4 cm diameter, arranged in a
corymb, with the typical
Brassicaceae flower structure; the petals are creamy white with purple veins, and the stamens yellow; the sepals are persistent after the flower opens. The
fruit is a
siliqua (pod) 12–25 mm long with an apical beak, and containing several
seeds.
