Pachymitus is a monotypic plant genus in the mustard family Brassicaceae. The sole species is Pachymitus cardaminoides, commonly known as sand cress, which is native to Australia.[2][3] It occurs in the states of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.[2]
Originally collected from near the mouth of the Murray River, the species was originally described as Sisymbrium cardaminoides by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1855,[4] before the genus Pachymitus was erected by Otto Eugen Schulz in 1924.[1]
Pachymitus cardaminoides is a small herbaceous shrub which grows to 30 cm (12 in) in height. It is found in inland New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia.[5]
