HELP !!!

Is there anybody who can give me more information on a plant called
Limnathes alba ? It can not be found in the phytochemical databases but it
is also possible that the orthography is not correct.
Thanks for your help !

Limnanthes alba is in the Limnanthaceae (meadowfoam family).  The
Jepson  Manual (Higher Plants of California) gives a reference for the
genus to H.L. Mason (1952), University of California Publications in
Botany, vol. 25, P. 455-512.  Hope this helps.
