Camelina sativa is a flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae usually known as camelina, gold-of-pleasure, or false flax, but also occasionally as wild flax, linseed dodder, German sesame, or Siberian oilseed. It is native to Europe and areas of Central Asia, but is cultivated as an oilseed crop mainly in Europe and in North America. It is not related to true flax, which is in the family Linaceae.
