About Lepidium fremontii S.Watson

Lepidium fremontii S.Watson is a robust perennial herb. It grows a branching, tangled gray stem that reaches around one meter in height. Its many sprawling stems are covered with linear leaves, each up to roughly 10 centimeters long, and these leaves may have several fingerlike lobes. This plant produces thick racemes that hold many small flowers. Each flower has white, spoon-shaped petals that are just a few millimeters long. Its fruit is a mostly flattened oblong to rounded capsule that measures less than one centimeter long.
