Cardamine impatiens,
an annual or biennial plant, occurs in damp places such as the shade
of a tree or the edges of water. Stems are erect, branch at the
lower parts, growing to 12-80cm in height. Leaves are alternate, of
an imparipinnate compound leaf, of thin texture; the leaflets
comprise 2-9 pairs, deeply cut in, with serrations on margins.
Racemes emerge from the stem tips or bases of the leaves, in which
4-petaled white flowers, 2-3.5mm long, are found. Bloom time:
March-June. |
