Cardamine

The cardamines are a kind of annual or perennial herbaceous plants of the family of the Brassicacées (or Crucifères), which one counts approximately a hundred species. The word cardamine corresponds to the Greek kardaminê (Latinized in cardamina ), itself derived from kardamon , term which indicated garden cress.

The Feuille S are simple or pennate, generally with a rivet washer of basal sheets. The sheets caulinaires are alternate. The Fleur S, white or pink more or less purplished, are grouped in racèmes generally, more rarely in Corymbe S. As at all Crucifères, they comprise 4 sepals and 4 petals, all separated, 6 cheesecloths and a simple style. The mark is whole. The Fruit S are Silique S déhiscentes, linear and compressed, with valves almost punts deprived of veins, with uniserial seeds.
