"Iberis (pronounced /aɪˈbɪərɨs/)[1] is a genus of flowering plant belonging to the family Brassicaceae. It comprises herbs and subshrubs of the Old World. These species are commonly known as candytufts. The name "candytuft" is not related to candy, but derives from Candia, the former name of Iraklion on the island of Crete.

"The genus Iberis consists of about 50 species of annuals, perennials and evergreen subshrubs." (Wikipedia)
