Lepidium ecklonii Schrad. ex Regel

Perennial herbs 5-60 cm high. Stem erect or spreading, shortly recurved hairy or puberulous, in young parts dense, the older parts sparse or even subglabrous. Basal and lower stem leaves 2-7 cm long, petiolate, pinnately 9-11-lobed with short oblanceolate spreading lobes 1-1.5 cm long and the terminal lobe not much bigger, or the leaves oblanceolate to narrowly obovate with a large serrate or dentate terminal lobe and 3 pairs of small lateral lobes; petiole ciliate; blades and lobes ciliolate and puberulous on both sides, especially on the lower surface, occasionally leaves almost glabrous. Upper stem leaves 1-4 cm long, oblanceolate or narrowly obovate, serrate or dentate, ciliolate and puberulous or subglabrous. Racemes terminal, later apparently leaf-opposed as they become over-topped by lateral shoots; rhachis crinkly puberulous, sometimes glabrescent; in fruit lax or subdense. Pedicels puberulous on the upper surface; in fruit 2-4 mm long, arcuate or ascending. Sepals 0-8.1 mm long, oblong, green or tinged purple, membranous-margined, sometimes puberulous. Petals 0.3-0.7 mm long, linear-oblong. Stamens 2; filaments subulate, thickened at the base. Nectaries triangular or elongate-triangular. Siliculae 2.4-3.4 x 1.7-2.2 mm, oblong, oblong-obovate or oblong-ovate, emarginate, with very narrow marginal wings in the upper part, the style shorter than the sinus (rarely the style very shortly exserted). Seeds 1.3-1.5 x 0.7-0.8 mm, red-brown.
