Camelina

Camelina is a genus within the flowering plant family Brassicaceae. One species, Camelina sativa, is a historic and potentially important oil plant. It is native to Mediterranean regions of Europe and Asia - Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and Spain. It is known commonly as camelina, and other names, such as German sesame, false-flax, gold-of-pleasure, and Siberian oilseed. It has gained some of these names because of its cold-hardiness.
