Thlaspi L. |
Thlaspi, or pennycress, [1] is a genus of herbs of temperate regions of the Eurasian continent. They occur in Central and South Europe, South-West Asia and two species are endemic to China. The Thlaspi has been proven to be a hyperaccumulator of heavy metals such as zinc and cadmium and therefore may be used in phytoremediation initiatives. [2]

- Thlaspi arcticum – arctic penny-cress
- Thlaspi arvense – field penny-cress
- Thlaspi californicum – Kneeland Prairie penny-cress
- Thlaspi cyprium – Cyprus penny-cress
- Thlaspi fendleri – Fendler's penny-cress
- Thlaspi idahoense – Idaho penny-cress

- Thlaspi montanum – alpine penny-cress
- Thlaspi parviflorum – meadow penny-cress

It is proposed that phytoremediation using Thlaspi caerulescens would be entirely feasible for low levels of cadmium.
