Cardamine parviflora var. arenicola
Also called Small Bittercress, Small Flowered Bittercress
Cardamine parviflora var. arenicola, commonly known as sand bittercress, is a flowering plant that is usually regarded as a variety in the family Brassicaceae native to North America. Cardamine parviflora var. arenicola was initially described as a distinct species, but is now commonly treated as a variety. However, recent nuclear DNA data suggests a sister relationship between the American and Eurasian plants (though cpDNA data found the two taxa to be intermingled).
Cardamine parviflora var. arenicola is found throughout eastern North America and also occurs in the Pacific Northwest. It grows in a variety of seasonally wet habitats with shallow or sandy soil and greenstone, diabase and granite glades. It also occurs in fallow fields and poorly draining old fields.
