in the flora).</p><!-- --><p>Iberis is a well-defined genus readily distinguished by having often corymbose infructescences, zygomorphic flowers, angustiseptate and often distally winged fruits, and exclusively accumbent cotyledons. N. H. Holmgren (2005b) erroneously indicated that the cotyledons in Iberis are incumbent.</p><!-- --><p>All three species treated here are ornamentals that sometimes escape from cultivation. Their distributions are based on verified records, but it is very likely that the species are more widely naturalized than the records show.</p> |tables= |references= }}<!-- --><div class="treatment-key"> ==Key== <div class="treatment-key-group"> {| class="wikitable fna-keytable" |-id=key-0-1 |1 |Perennials or subshrubs (with sterile shoots). |[[Iberis sempervirens|Iberis sempervirens]] |-id=key-0-1 |1 |Annuals (without sterile shoots) |[[#key-0-2| > 2]] |-id=key-0-2 |2 |Racemes considerably elongated in fruit; abaxial petals 5-8 mm; styles 0.8-2 mm; cauline leaf blades: margins pinnatifid or dentate. |[[Iberis amara|Iberis amara]] |-id=key-0-2 |2 |Racemes not elongated in fruit; abaxial petals 10-16 mm; styles 2-4.5 mm; cauline leaf blades: margins entire. |[[Iberis umbellata|Iberis umbellata]] |} </div></div><!-- -->{{#Taxon: name=Iberis |author=Ihsan A.
