Sisymbrium species are annual, biennial or perennial herbs, glabrous or pubescent with simple trichomes, not scapose. Rootstocks taproot. Stem usually erect, subprostrate or decumbent, ascending, simple or branched distally. Basal leaves rosulate or not, obovate-lanceolate to oblong in outline, margin lyrate pinnatifid to pinnatisect, rarely entire, apex acuminate, petiolate, cauline leaves gradually smaller, similar to basal, petiole short to sessile. Inflorescence racemes, many flowered, considerably elongated in fruit, ebracteate, rarely bracteate. Flowers bisexual, yellow, white, pink, purple, pedicel erect or reflexed, divaricate, slender or thick, ascending, sepals 4, erect or spreading, linear ovate-oblong, margin membranous, inner lateral pair base sometimes subsaccate, petals 4, obovate-oblanceolate to spathulate, margins entire, apex obtuse or emarginate, claw distinct, usually almost equal or slightly longer than sepals. Stamens 6 rarely 4, tetradynamous, filaments not dilated near the base, anthers ovate-oblong, apex obtuse rarely apiculate, nectar glands 4 confluent, usually subtending the bases of stamens, median glands present. Ovary superior, linear subcylindrical, bicarpellary, ovules 10-160. Fruit siliqua, dehiscent, linear cylindrical, sessile or rarely shortly stipitate, terete or latiseptate, smooth or torulose, valves prominent midvein and obscure marginal veins, valves chartaceous to leathery, replum rounded, septum complete, style subclavate or cylindric, stigma capitate, bilobed, lobes not decurrent. Seeds uniseriate, brown, plump, oblong-ovoid, not winged, minutely reticulate, not mucilaginous when soaked, cotyledons obliquely incumbent.

📚 Natural History
Reproduction
Sisymbrium species flowers are complete, bisexual, i.e., with functional male (androecium) and female (gynoecium), including stamens, carpels and ovary. Pollination is entomophilous i.e., by insects, or cleistogamy i.e., by self or allogamy i.e., by cross pollination. Flowering/Fruiting: April—August.

Dispersal
Seeds may be dispersed by autochory i.e., self dispersal, anemochory i.e., wind dispersal, zoochory i.e., dispersal by birds or animals, anthropochory i.e., dispersal by humans.
