Teesdalia nudicaulis
Also called Shepherd's Cress, Bare Stemmed Teesdalia, Common Shepherd's Cress
Barestem teesdalia is a small annual wildflower of the cabbage family that grows in disturbed ground such as fields, meadows and roadsides. It is grown mainly as a wild plant rather than a garden ornamental, and it does best in open, sunny spots with lean, freely draining soil.
Teesdalia nudicaulis, or the common shepherd's-cress, is a species of flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae. It is native to Madeira, Morocco, and nearly all of Europe, but has gone locally extinct in Switzerland and Hungary. Additionally, it has been introduced to the east and west coasts of the United States and to southern Chile. An annual, it is found in meadows, fields, and roadsides, typically in anthropogenically disturbed soils.
