Plz Id. I hope Cardamine flexuosa, common in temperate climate but often found in wet places in Delhi also. agree with Cardamine flexuosa Wow……. thanks … sure it z Cardamine flexuosa / Wavy Bittercress. Brassicaceae Week: Cardamine flexuosa from Kashmir and Manali: Cardamine flexuosa With., Bot. Arr. Brit. Pl. ed. 3:578, t. 3. 1796.

Common names: Common bittercress, wavy bittercress
Small annual herb mostly branched from base, without a distinct basal rosette of leaves, often withered at flowering stage, lyrate with larger terminal lobe usually reniform or broadly ovate, 3-5 lobed, lateral lobes smaller; upper leaves smaller, not auriculate at base,; flowers white, in racemes on usually zigzag axis; stamens usually 6; siliqua linear 12-25 mm long,
Common in moist shaded places, often along roadsides. Photographed from Kashmir and Manali. Thanks for showing this wonderful plant. Yes … To put it in simple words, lyrate: a pinnately lobed leaf, with more or less curved (wavy) lobes and a large terminal lobe. Do we have a compilation of Cardamine genus of India to refer to? I will be greatly obliged. Here it is from online Flora of India Brassicaceae Week: Cardamine flexuosa from Panipat: This one was shot from Panipat in March 2012, Cardamine flexuosa… Yes … Very Good photographs Cardamine hirsuta from Panipat: This is Cardamine hirsuta Linn. photographed from Paras Nursery, Panipat on January 22,2012. A very common winter weed. Annual, decumbent herbs, 8-30 cm high. Basal leaves 7-11 lobed, ovate-lanceolate, sinuate-dentate, upper ones 5-9 lobed, ovate, entire or crenulate. Flowers small, in corymbs, white. Petals narrow, erect, very small. Stamens 6. Pod nearly 1 cm long, erect, obtuse. I think Cardamine flexuosa Requesting ID of this weed – Mumbai, Sep 2014 :: ARKOCT-03 : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3).
Requesting to please ID this small weed (seen in the centre of the pic). This weed was growing wild in a pot in my balcony garden.
The leaves are a different shape and the flowers are very very tiny and white in colour.
Is it possible to arrive at an ID based on these pics? a wild mustard?
looks like pods, did you open any? This may be a Cardamine sp. … could be on the right tract Thank you … I have been tending to this plant more than my other plants, 🙂 just so that I can get a better pic. It is so frail and delicate…. Could this be Cardamine flexuosa, it is kind of resembling the pic on FOI? Attaching a cropped pic, if it helps species ID….Can this be C. flexuosa? Attachments (2)
I think possible. ID of Brassicaceae sp. from Meghalaya KD 17 Nov : 6 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (5)
Attached images may be sp. of Brassicaceae. Please ID the plant.
Date :27.10.2014
Location: Meghalaya
Family : Brassicaceae
Genus & species : ??
Habitat: Grows on hilly slopes Ha
bit : Herb I too had uploaded something similar and … had suggested Cardamine….. Thank you for sharing, would like to know which Cardamine flowers in October. This may also be C. hirsuta L. var. sylvatica Link. of FBI, though flowering time differs in FoC, but tally with BP and BoBO. efi page on Cardamine flexuosa (syn: Cardamine hirsuta var. sylvatica (Link) Hook. f. & T.) Location: Godawari, Nepal
Altitude: 5000 ft.
Date: 10 January 2017 Also check with images on efi page at Cardamine hirsuta My final post ‘today’. Cardamine hirsuta is not recorded from Nepal either in the Enumeration or latest Annotated Checklist. Several Cardamine species are known from Nepal. In the UK we have both C.hirsuta and C.flexuosa (which is recorded from Nepal) which are similar. They are distinguished (in the
UK) on the basis of C.hirsuta being an annual with 4 stamens, whereas C.flexuosa is a biennial (often perennating) with 6 stamens.
From the first photo it appears the specimen has 6 stamens – making it likely to be C.flexuosa NOT C.hirsuta. Enumeration has C.arcuata subsp. flexuosa @ 1000-4000m in Nepal & Temperate Eurasia. The more up-to-date Annotated Checklist for Nepal has C.flexuosa but no mention of C.
arcuata….
Would need to check the plant photographed by … is not any of the other species of Cardamine recorded for Nepal. Attached images are Cardamine flexuosa With.
Date :01.03.2018 Location: Assam Family : Brassicaceae Genus & species : Cardamine flexuosa With. Habitat: Grows wild on damp places Habit : Herb Flower : White Kindly identify the plant; probably is a species of Cardamine.
Plant is about 10-15 cm high. Flowers and fruits well between November to April. Though some plants are found to grow, flower and fruit during May to October, growth is poor.
No hair on stem or leaf petioles.
Leaves are compound with 5-7 leaflets.
No rosette of basal leaves found.
Terminal leaflet bigger than lateral ones.
All flowers have 4 sepals, 4 petals, 6 stamens. Petals spatulate with short claw.
Fruits not appressed to inflorescence axis and dehisce explosively on touching. The fruit wall on both sides spring open, coil and fall off, ejecting the seeds violently, leaving only the replum with a few seeds on the plant. looks like Brassicaceae: Cardamine species ? Is it from Delhi? Pl. check comparative images at Thank you … I did check efloraofindia site but have not been able to determine if it is Cardamine flexuosa or Cardamine hirsuta. It looks like the former but would like to be sure about the species. Shall be obliged if the species identification is confirmed. Thanks, …, I agree with you. Thank you … I will then consider it as Cardamine flexuosa.
This is Cardamine, perhaps C. flexuosa… Thank you very much … I think yes C. fluosa plant for id request : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2) Cardamine sp.
