Sisymbrium linifolium, synonyms including Schoenocrambe linifolia, is a species of flowering plant in the mustard family,

This perennial plant produces erect stems up to half a meter tall from a caudex. It grows from a long, deep rhizome. The leaves are linear, sometimes divided toward the base of the plant. The fruit is a slender silique up to 6 cm long. It reproduces by seed and by resprouting from the rhizome and caudex. The latter process helps it recover quickly from wildfire.

This plant occurs in many types of habitat, including salt-desert shrub, sagebrush, pinyon-juniper woodland, mountain shrub, and habitat dominated by Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), and trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides). It is the most common forb in a number of regions, including a pinyon-sagebrush transition in northeastern Utah and the grasslands of the Snake River Plain.

Uses

The leaves are spicy enough to make wasabi but can also be mixed into salads and other dishes.
