Cardamine flexuosa |
Cardamine flexuosa, commonly known as wavy bittercress or wood bitter-cress, is an herbaceous annual, biennial, or short-lived perennial plant in the cabbage family (Brassicaceae). [1]
This is a small flowering plant growing to a height of no more than 30 cm, usually annual or short-lived perennial, with few short, erect stems. The leaves pinnate, mostly at the base, each with about 5 pairs of rounded leaflets. Flowers very small, white, 3 – 4 mm across with 6 stamens. Fruits of C. flexuosa generally do not overtop the flowers, a feature distinguishing it from Cardamine hirsuta. [2]
It is native to the British Isles, [3]: 401 Europe, North Africa, Turkey and Iran and widely introduced elsewhere. [4]
In Ireland common in woods shady and damp places. [5] [2]
In Northeast Indian State, Manipur, it is eaten and often used as garnishing Eromba and known as Chaantruk.[ citation needed]
