48. A. robertianum Bernard ex Gren. & Godron , Fl. Fr. 1: 117 (1847).

Procumbent perennial 10-40 cm, much-branched at base, with long, non-flowering stems. Leaves up to 8 x 4 mm, obovatespathulate, obtuse, greenish above, grey beneath. Sepals c. 2 mm, subglabrous; petals c. 3 mm. Silicula 5-6 x 3-4 mm, broadly obovate to rhombic, acute, sparsely pubescent, green; style c. 2 mm. Seeds 2-5-3 mm; wing c. 0-25 mm wide. In = 16. • Corse, Sardegna. Co Sa.

A. tavolarae Briq. , Prodr. FI. Corse 2: 58 (1913), described from Sardegna (Tavolara), is probably a variant of 48. It differs in having sepals c. 3 mm, pubescent; petals c. 4 mm; silicula greypubescent; and seeds c. 1 - 5 mm. It was originally said to have 2 seeds in each loculus, but this appears to have been an error.
