About Lepidium nitidum Nutt.
Lepidium nitidum Nutt. is an annual herb that is mostly erect, growing a slender stem that reaches up to around 40 centimeters tall. It has small leaves along the stem, and larger leaves at its base that can grow up to 10 centimeters long and are divided into many narrow lobes. Tiny flowers grow at the top of the stem, with spoon-shaped white petals just around one millimeter long. After flowering, the plant produces flattened, disclike fruits that range in shape from rounded to oval, reaching up to about half a centimeter long. Each shiny green to pink fruit is split down its center into two chambers that hold seeds.
