Cardamine flexuosa, commonly known as wavy bittercress or wood bitter-cress, is an herbaceous annual, biennial, or short-lived perennial plant in the cabbage family (Brassicaceae).[1]
This is a small flowering plant growing to a height of no more than 30 cm, usually perennial, with few short, erect stems. The leaves pinnate, mostly at the base, each with about 5 pairs of rounded leaflets. Flowers very small, white, 3 – 4 mm across with 6 stamens. Fruits of C. flexuosa generally do not overtop the flowers, a feature distinguishing it from Cardamine hirsuta.[2]
Common throughout the British Isles[3]: 401 and Europe.[4]
In Ireland common in woods shady and damp places.[5][2]
In Northeast Indian State, Manipur, it is eaten and often used as garnishing Eromba and known as Chaantruk.
