Linnaeus

Cardamine hirsuta, Hairy Bittercress is a small, white-flowered, weedy crucifer which is a ubiquitous weed of cultivated grounds, pavements and waste places. Unlike Wavy Bittercress (Cardamine flexuosa), which is usually taller and more robust, its flowers have 4 stamens. It is a widespread weed of the lowlands and urban areas of West Glamorgan but it is uncommon in the uplands.
