Two-leaved Toothwort

Cardamine diphylla

Two-leaved Toothwort is a small plant with pretty white flowers that bloom in spring. It grows in shady forests and has two leaves that look like little hands reaching up to the sky!

生息地: Forests

外見

The Two-leaved Toothwort has striking clusters of white to pale lavender four-petaled flowers atop stems. Its name comes from the two large, opposite, deeply three-parted leaves that grow high on the stem, making it distinct among forest floor plants.

おもしろい事実

Its scientific name, Cardamine, means 'heart-calming,' perhaps from its spicy taste!

The 'toothwort' name actually refers to the tooth-like bumps on its underground rhizomes!

This plant is a close cousin to broccoli and cabbage, both in the mustard family!

You can munch on its peppery leaves and roots in a salad for a spicy kick!
