- Erysimum is often confused with yellow rocket due to similarities in appearance and common habitats.
- When yellow rocket is eliminated from pastures, grasses are shown to be more productive in terms of total yield.
- Although the flowers of the yellow rocket are yellow and clustered they seem pale compared to many other members of the mustard family, giving the impression of being greenish.
- Yellow rocket can be differentiated from other plants by its stalked, circular, almost orbicular seed pods, in contrast to those of other Common Cress relatives that have stalked and oblong or elongate seed pods.
