Abstract
A species checklist has been prepared for the Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) family, providing the first updated list
in over 70 years. The current taxonomic database contains approximately 14,000 plant names, compiled from the taxonomic
literature starting with Linnaeus's Species plantarum in 1753 to the present. Taxon status and synonymy, taxon name,
scientific authority, literature source and source verification, and the basionym are provided for each record.
