Cardamine (Greek name of a cress). Cruciferae. Small mostly leafy-stemmed perennials (the annual species apparently not cultivated), growing in low rich land, blooming in spring or early summer. Flowers sometimes large for size of plant, white or purple; petals obovate or spatulate: pods linear and straight, more or less flattened, the wingless seeds in 1 row, valves usually separating elastically from the base: lvs. simple or pinnate or lyrate: root often tuberous or rhizomatous.—About 50 species, largely in boreal or alpine regions. Of easy cult. Only C. pratensis is much known among growers.
