An illustrated flora of the An illustrated flora of the northern United States, Canada and the British possessions : from Newfoundland to the parallel of the southern boundary of Virginia and from the Atlantic Ocean westward to the 102nd meridian ed2illustratedflo02brit Year: 1913 2.

Resembles the preceding species when in flower, but the root is annual or biennial. Siliques elliptic or broadly oval, iJ'-2' long, i' wide or rather more, rounded at both ends; seeds suborbicular, cordate, about as long as wide. Escaped from gardens in southern Ontario, south- western Connecticut and eastern Pennsylvania.
