línii

Linii refers to a genus of flowering plants in the mustard family, Brassicaceae. These plants are native to Europe and Asia. The genus is characterized by its small, typically white or yellow flowers, which are arranged in racemes. The fruits are siliques, a type of dry fruit characteristic of the Brassicaceae family. Linii species are often found in disturbed habitats, such as roadsides, fields, and waste areas.

Several species are recognized within the genus Linii. Linii species are generally herbaceous annuals or biennials. Their leaves are often simple and arranged alternately along the stem. The seeds are small and typically round or oval. The genus is named after the Latin word "linum," meaning flax, likely due to a superficial resemblance in the plants' growth habit or leaf shape to flax plants. While not widely cultivated, some species may occasionally be encountered as weeds. Their ecological role is generally that of a common wild plant in its native range.
