Peltaria alliacea (garlic cress) is a perennial in the family Brassicaceae, endemic in Southeastern Europe. The plant grows up to 60 cm (24 in) and flowers white from May to July. The plant is glabrous with simple, entire leaves. The leaves are ovate, sessile and amplexicaule. When crushed they smell of garlic, hence the common name.^[1] The 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long white petals are shortly clawed. The orbicular,^[1] very flat silicula or seed is pendent and has a size of about 6 by 6 mm (0.24 by 0.24 in). Its chromosome number is 2n=14 (also: 28, 56).^[2]

The plant is also grown as a herb or vegetable. The leaves can be used and add a spiciness to salads. Although, they can become bitter in the summer.^[3]

The plant grows in stony areas from Southern Austria (Styria, Lower Austria) to South Romania and Albania. It has become naturalized in the U.K.^[1]
