Occasional, on much-disturbed waste ground. Not nearly as common as in most other parts of the country. Flower diameter c 2.5-3.5 mm. Pods c 10-15 mm ID: Yellow flowers less than 4 mm across, pods appressed, leaves a normal green, not dark green like Wintercress.

Long curving infloresence-branches with pods rigidly appressed along their length are very distinctive. Pods on short stalks almost as wide as themselves.
