Cardamine
Cardamine, is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. It contains more than 150 species of annuals and perennials. The genus grows worldwide in diverse habitats, except the Antarctic. Genus Dentaria is a synonym for Cardamine. The leaves can have different forms, going from minute to medium-sized. They can be pinnate or bipinnate. They are basal and cauline, with narrow tips. They are rosulate. The blade margins can be entire, serrate or dentate. The stem internodes lack firmness. The radially symmetrical flowers grow in a racemose many-flowered inflorescence or in corymbs. The white, pink or purple flowers are minute to medium-sized. The petals are longer than the sepals. The fertile flowers are hermaphroditic. The fruits are long, thin dehiscent pods with many seeds. In some regions this plant is considered a nuisance; one author observes, "Weeding this little pest is decidedly unsatisfying, for when its fully ripe pods are touched, they split open and shoot out their seeds, thus spitefully sowing another crop." Some plants were reputed to have medicinal qualities.
