    Hoping that a member can identify this Brassicaea. I think it could be Diplotaxis ericoides but I am unsure. It has been erroneously called Sisymbrium officinalis.

    Yes, looks like a Diplotaxis erucoides (surely not a S. officinale)

    I incorrectly identified it as Sisymbrium but later realised my error. Usually I have little difficulty with the Diplotaxis taxon when the plants are young, but this fellow seems to be an old timer. Thanks for the confirmation.
