Toothwort


This is toothwort. The current botanical name is Cardamine concatenata. Until recently called Dentaria laciniata, but it seems this plant belongs in the group with the other cardamines. It's just starting to flower here. It's a common plant of the Indiana woodlands. It's another of the many plants of the crucifer family. Picture taken along the main trail in Happy Hollow Park, April 3, 2009.
