Small plants with tiny white, four-petaled flowers.
Leaves of two kinds: basal leaves in a rosette with many,
more-or-less egg-shaped leaflets, and stem leaves with long, narrow
leaflets. Fruits are long, straight pods which, at maturity,
explode when touched, flinging seeds widely. Blooms in early
spring. An alien, invasive weed, unfortunately very common along
the Riverway and Wildwood Drive. Also very common in yards and
gardens.
Easily confused with other white-flowered mustards at first
glance, but the leaves and long fruits are probably distinctive.
