About

Arabis auriculata is a herbaceous, flowering plant from the family Brassicaceae. It flowers from March to July.

Besides the type form, René Maire described the Arabis auriculata f. umbrosa form.

Where it grows

Arabis auriculata grows mostly in calcareous soil. It can be found in south and central Europe, west and center-west of Asia and some parts of northern Africa, being present on foothills between 500 and 2400 meters high. The plant used to be present in Portugal, but has been wiped out from the country. Belgium registers it as an invasive species.
