[Overview]
An annual or biennial found in moist places near rice paddies and similar sites.
The stem branches from the lower part and is usually hairy.
The leaves consist of basal leaves and leaves alternate on the stem; they are pinnately compound, with a somewhat larger terminal lobe, and each lobe is cut.
Axillary buds emerge from the leaf axils and take root, allowing vegetative propagation.
The flowers bloom in autumn in racemes and are small, white and 4-petaled.

The fruit is a silique with a rather short fruit stalk.
Inside the fruit, many seeds are arranged in a single row.
