Nasturtium

Pelargonin-3-biosides are of widespread occurrence, e.g. in the nasturtium, scarlet runner bean, gloxinia. See anthocyanins. 

Odors possess many classifications. There are 20 of them commonly used, all possessing rather picturesque names. In fact the names, in many cases, are far more pleasant than the odors themselves. To name a few of them - nasturtium, cucumber, geranium, fishy, pigpen, earthy, grassy and musty. Authorities further classify these odors in terms of their intensity from very faint, faint, distinct and decided... 

Phenyl-ethyl isothiocyanate. CgHj,(C.2H4)N C S, has been found in the oils of reseda root, nasturtium, and some varieties of Brassica. It is an oil of powerful odour, yielding a thiourea, melting at 137°. The latter body, when treated with silver nitrate and baryta water, yields phenyl-ethyl-urea, melting at 111° to 112°.

By way of a specific example let us consider erucic acid. The main commercial source of erucic acid is a specially bred form of rape seed (HEAR) as pointed out above. With European consumption being around 60 000 tpa almost 40 000 ha of land are used to grow rapeseed for erucic acid production in Europe. The high level of erucic found in this type of rape seed oil make it unsuitable for human consumption, owing to the indigestibility of such large amounts of this acid. Erucic acid is also the major fatty acid to be found in nasturtium and crambe seeds (up to 75% and 56% respectively), and it is also found in the salad herb, rocket.

Making an impact A large container crammed with plants is much easier to care for than several small ones. Here, annual climbers—sweet peas and nasturtiums—are grown up a twiggy tepee set in a galvanized bin with holes drilled through the base. 

Most hardy annuals and many half-hardy annuals, particularly the large-seeded ones such as French marigolds (Tagetes) and nasturtiums, are easy and cheap to grow from seed.

Susceptible plants Brassicas large whites may also attack nasturtiums. 

Susceptible plants Brassicas, particularly as seedlings. Also ornamentals such as nasturtium, alyssum, anemone, and godetia.

So-called proto- and pseudoalkaloids are known throughout the family and several reviews of these have appeared. Some of the species were assayed here and likewise found to be alkaloid-positive Capsella hursa-pastoris (1/8), Lepidium carlilacineum, Nasturtium montanum (1/2), Raphanus Sativus (2/3).
