Cardamine impatiens,
an annual or biennial, occur in damp palaces like the shade of a
tree or water's edges. 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 stem tips or bases of the leaves, in which 4-petaled white
flowers, 2-3.5mm long, put themselves in them. Bloom time:
March-June. |
