## Description

It is an annual, growing up 30–50 cm (12–20 in) tall, with a stem that is glabrous (smooth) or with short simple hairs. It has basal leaves that are ovate-cordate shaped, with acute teeth. The cauline (stem) leaves are petiolate (have a leaf stalk) or subsessile. They are ovate-lanceolate shaped with acute teeth on margin. The leaves when crushed smell of garlic. It blooms between April and May, with long white flowers. The petals are 4-5 mm long and 1.5-2 mm wide with a broad oblong-obovate blade and narrow claw (section near the stem or petiole). The fruiting pedicels (flower stalks) are as thick as basal part of fruit and 3-7 mm horizontally spreading. The fruit (or seed capsule) is 10-15 mm long and 2-2.5 mm wide with straight or slightly curved beak (end projection). It contain 1 or 2 seeds, that are 5 mm long.[3]

## Taxonomy

The genus Parlatoria originally consisted of three species, including P. cakiloidea, the type species (Iran, Iraq, Turkey), the Iranian endemic P. rostrata Boiss., and P. taurica (from Azerbaijan, Georgia).[4] Parlatoria taurica was later found to be a synonym of Alliaria taurica (Adams) V.I.Dorof.[5] Also Parlatoria rostrata Boiss. & Hohen. was worked out to be a synonym of Lysakia rostrata (Boiss. & Hohen.) Esmailbegi & Al-Shehbaz[6]

The genus name of Parlatoria is in honour of Filippo Parlatore (1816–1877), an Italian botanist, who originally studied medicine.[7] The Latin specific epithet of cakiloidea refers to a resemblance to the genus Cakile. Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot., séries 2, Vol.17 on page 72 in 1842.[2]

## Range and habitat

It is native to Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey.[2]

It is found on rocky slopes at altitudes of 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) above sea level.[3]
