Rank and coarse grower, in the common forms making great tufts of root-lvs. if sown early:, radical Ivs. generally abundant and often very large, oval or oboval in outline, the hlade angled or toothed, tapering into a narrow petiole, which generally bears leafy appendages ; lower stem-lvs. more or less toothed and petiolate, the upper ones oblong or oblong- lanceolate, entire and usually sessile or clasping : flow- ering stems and Ivs. more or less lightly glaucous : fls. bright yellow : pod slender, of medium size, tapering into a short beak.
