'''''Ricotia''''' is a genus of flowering plants in the family [Brassicaceae](/source/Brassicaceae), found in the East Aegean islands, Crete, the Levant, the Sinai Peninsula, Turkey, and the Transcaucasus. They appear to have arisen in Anatolia, to which five species are endemic.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.12705/644.5 |title=Phylogeny, diversification and biogeographic implications of the eastern Mediterranean endemic genus ''Ricotia'' (Brassicaceae) |year=2015 |last1=Özüdoğru |first1=Barış |last2=Akaydın |first2=Galip |last3=Erik |first3=Sadık |last4=Al-Shehbaz |first4=Ihsan A. |last5=Mummenhoff |first5=Klaus |journal=Taxon |volume=64 |issue=4 |pages=727–740 }}</ref>
