From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cusickiella is a small genus containing two species of plants in the mustard family. These are mat-forming perennials with stumpy branches covered in rounded clusters of tiny thick leaves. Each cluster somewhat resembles a very tiny cabbage. Each small branch blooms in a white or yellowish flower in a base of triangular sepals which may be hairy. The fruit is a silique usually containing a single seed. Both species are native to the western United States. Cusickiella douglasii grows in the mountains from California to Washington, and Cusickiella quadricostata has a more limited distribution in eastern California and western Nevada.
