Coincya cintrana
Also called Star Mustard, Tall Wallflower Cabbage
Wallflower cabbage (Coincya cintrana) is a rare wild Brassicaceae species endemic to a few hill ranges in central Portugal, where it grows on rock walls and rocky slopes. It is a protected plant and is not commonly grown in gardens, so care advice is limited to general mustard-family cultivation.
Coincya cintrana is a flowering plant of the family Brassicaceae. It is a hemicryptophyte plant, and it grows on walls, in steep areas and in rocky slopes. It flowers from April until June.
The species authority is (Cout.) P.Silva, and was published in Bol. Soc. Brot. sér. 2, 60: 153. 1987.
It's an endemic species from continental Portugal, namely from Serra de Sintra, Serra de Santo António and Serra de Montejunto.
