Stems many from the same root, thickly clothed with leaves. In some 
situations it is green and slightly hairy, in others very downy and white, 
and is then T. hirtum of Hudson. Woodw. Stem undivided except at 
the top, where it separates into seven or eight branches, above the 
branches naked. Root-leaves spear-egg-shaped, on long flat leaf-stalks, 
sometimes wing-cleft at the base. Fruit-stalks horizontal. Pouches 
nearly heart-shaped, convex on the lower, and concave on the upper 
surface. Blossom white. Calyx spotted with brown. (Smith remarks 
that the pouch may be found either dotted, quite smooth, or slightly hairy, 
when it becomes T. hirtum of Hudson, but not of Linnseus. The seeds 
being solitary in each cell, and the cotyledons incumbent, Mr. Brown has 
removed this species from Thlaspi. E.)
