Descriptionedit
Rorippa curvisiliqua is an annual or biennialherb which can be quite variable in appearance. It produces prostrate to erect stems up to half a meter long. The leaves are up to 7 centimeters long and have blades which may be smooth-edged or divided into lobes of varying shapes.
The inflorescence is an elongated raceme occupying the top portion of the stem containing many tiny yellow flowers just a few millimeters long.
The fruit is a silique which is variable in size and shape but generally contains many minute seeds.
This species has been divided into a number of varieties, but some authorities doubt that this division is valid or useful.[3]
