The fleshy lobed or toothed leaves grow in a basal rosette at ground level and along the stem, the lowest and longest reaching a few centimeters long. The plant blooms in inflorescences of many small flowers, each with yellow petals just a few millimeters long and six stamen The stamen (: stamina or stamens) is a part consisting of the male reproductive organs of a flower.

Lepidium Amissum
''Lepidium amissum'', also known as Waitakere scurvy grass, is an extinct species of plant in the family Brassicaceae. The plant was first described by Peter de Lange and Peter Brian Heenan in 2013, and was formerly endemic to the sea cliffs of the Waitākere Ranges of West Auckland, New Zealand. Taxonomy The species was formally described in 2013 by Peter de Lange and Peter Brian Heenan, based on specimens collected from cliff faces of the coastal Waitākere Ranges by Thomas Cheeseman, with the first known specimen collected in December 1870. Prior to identification as a species in 2013, the specimens had been identified as '' Lepidium obtusatum''. Cheeseman briefly mentions the species in the 1906 edition of the ''Manual of the New Zealand flora'', stating that ''L. obtusatum'' can be found on "sea-cliffs to the north of the Manukau Harbour, rare." The species epithet ''amissum'' is derived from the Latin word amissus, meaning lost, referring to its extinction. Due to ...

Lepidium Coronopus
''Lepidium coronopus'', (swine cress, creeping wart cress, or greater swine cress), is a species of flowering plant in the mustard family which is native to parts of Africa, western Asia and Europe, growing in shingle banks, wasteland or cultivated fields. Description ''Lepidium coronopus'' is a robust herb, grown as an annual, and rarely as a biennial.Richard Dickinson and France Royer It is a low, to short prostrate plant, with often several from base, stems that sprawl,Simon Harrap trail or spread, and very rarely ascending.Flora of North America Editorial Committee It can reach between tall, with the more or less hairless, and branched distally, stems reaching long. It has two types of leaves, basal and cauline (along the stem), the basal leaves are rosulate (form a rosette), with a petiole (leaf stalk) long. They are pinnatisect (having lobes with incisions that extend almost, or up to midrib), the lobes are dark green and strap like. The cauline leaves are shortl ...

Lepidium Campestre
''Lepidium campestre'', the field pepperwort, field peppercress, field peppergrass, field pepperweed or field cress, is usually a biennial with some form of annual plant in the Brassicaceae or mustard family, native to Europe, but commonly found in North America as an invasive weed. The most notable characteristic of field pepperweed is the raceme of flowers which forks off of the stem. These racemes are made up of first small white flowers and later green, flat and oval seedpods each about 6 mm long and 4 mm wide.Richard H. Uva, Joseph C. Neal and Joseph M. Ditomaso, ''Weeds of The Northeast'', (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1997), Pp. 176-177. Each seedpod contains two brown, 2.5 mm long seeds. The stem of field pepperweed comes out of a basal rosette of toothed leaves. The stem is covered in leaves, which are sessile, alternate and arrow-shaped. The entire plant is generally between 20 and 60 cm tall and covered in small hairs. Cultivation and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lepidium Banksii
''Lepidium banksii'', known as coastal peppercress, is a rare species of flowering plant from the family Brassicaceae. It is endemic to New Zealand, formerly found around the coast of the northern South Island but now critically endangered. Discovery Coastal peppercress was first collected for culinary purposes: by Cook, in 1770 in the Marlborough Sounds, along with its relative '' Lepidium oleraceum'', as a treatment for scurvy. Both species are members of the Brassicaceae or cabbage family and contain vitamin C. It was collected again in 1827 by Dumont d'Urville in Queen Charlotte Sound and Astrolabe Harbour (now in Abel Tasman National Park), and from those specimens was described by Thomas Kirk in 1899 and named after Sir Joseph Banks, the naturalist on Cook's first voyage. Description Coastal peppercress is a low rambling fleshy-leaved coastal herb. It resembles the closely related Cook's scurvy grass or nau (''L. oleraceum''), but is darker in colour and with more ...
