Brassicoideae is a subfamily contained within the family Brassicaceae of flowering plants.[1] It is one of the two subfamilies of Brassicaceae, along with Aethionemoideae, and contains five supertribes -- Arabodae, Brassicodae, Camelinodae, Heliophilodae, and Hesperodae.[2][3] Containing the vast majority of genera and 98.6% of species within the mustard family, it has the same distribution as the family in general -- that is, a cosmopolitan distribution focused on temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere.[2]
