Cardamine pratensis, Linn. Cuckoo Flower. Fig. 792. Plant slender and usually glabrous, 12-20 in., somewhat branched: lvs. pinnately divided; lfts. of root-lvs. small and rounded (½in. or less across), those of the upper st.-lvs. oblong or even linear and entire or somewhat toothed: fls. ½in. long, in a corymb, white or rose-color, pretty. Eu. and Amer., in the northern parts.—In the gardens it is chiefly known in the double-fld. form, which probably has been derived from European rather than American sources. There are other forms of it. It is an excellent little plant to grow in moist places, particularly along creeks and about springs. It is also useful in drier places, as in rockeries. CH
