What is "lobularia"

Lobularia is a genus of five species of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae, closely related to (and formerly often included in) the genus Alyssum. The genus is native to Macaronesia and the Mediterranean region, and comprises annuals and perennials growing to tall, with hairy oblong-oval leaves and clusters of cross-shaped (cruciform), fragrant white flowers.
