Some non-native mustards, such as garlic mustard, Alliaria petiolata, an extremely invasive species in the United States, can be toxic to their larvae. ==Taxonomy== Carl Linnaeus in 1753 regarded the Brassicaceae as a natural group, naming them "Klass" Tetradynamia.
Alfred Barton Rendle placed the family in the order Rhoedales, while George Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker in their system published from 1862–1883, assigned it to their cohort Parietales (now the class Violales).
Following Bentham and Hooker, John Hutchinson in 1948 and again in 1964 thought the Brassicaceae to stem from near the Papaveraceae.

In 1994, a group of scientists including Walter Stephen Judd suggested to include the Capparaceae in the Brassicaceae.
However, the USDA's TAG group has blocked these introductions since 2004.
Current insights in the relationships of the Brassicaceae, based on a 2012 DNA-analysis, are summarized in the following tree. === Relationships within the family === Early classifications depended on morphological comparison only, but because of extensive convergent evolution, these do not provide a reliable phylogeny.
One analysis from 2014 represented the relation between 39 tribes with the following tree. === Etymology === The name Brassicaceae comes to international scientific vocabulary from New Latin, from Brassica, the type genus, + -aceae, a standardized suffix for plant family names in modern taxonomy.
