Eutrema deltoideum (Hook. fil. & Thomson) O. E. Schulz

The fruit shape and dimensions given for Eutrema deltoideum in all Chinese floras are based on misidentified plants of E. himalaicum. Eutrema deltoideum var. grandiflorum has slightly larger flowers than those of the type, but these represent extremes of a continuous variation. The species was recorded from Sichuan in FRPS and in Fl. Sichuan. (14: 155. 1999), but the present authors have seen no material from that province.

Herbs (7-)20-75(-110) cm tall, sparsely pilose or glabrous; rhizomes short. Stems erect, simple at base, branched above. Basal leaves rosulate, somewhat fleshy; petiole (1.5-)3.5-10(-15) cm; leaf blade ovate, deltoid, or oblong, (1-)2-5(-8) × (0.5-)1-3(-5) cm, base cordate or rounded, margin dentate or rarely subentire, apex obtuse or subacute.

Infructescence lax raceme, main branch 6-15 cm. Fruiting pedicels ascending or suberect, 5-1.2(-15) mm. Sepals ovate, 2-3 × 1.5-2.5 mm, caducous.
