Leavenworthia
Also called Gladecresses
Leavenworthia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. It includes about eight species native to the southern and southeastern United States. They are known generally as gladecresses.
Leavenworthia species are mainly restricted to habitats with limestone substrates, especially cedar glades. These glades can be very wet in winter and spring, even flooded. Several species are narrow endemics in terms of geography; L. alabamica and L. crassa are endemic to Alabama, L. aurea to Oklahoma, L. stylosa to Tennessee, and L. texana to Texas.
