Aurinia is a genus of flowering plants of the family Brassicaceae (Cruciferae), native to mountainous areas of central and southern Europe, Ukraine, southern European Russia, and Turkey.[1] They are closely related to Alyssum, which they resemble. They can either be biennial or woody-based evergreen perennials. They produce panicles of yellow flowers in early summer.[2]
