Danish Scurvygrass
6th April 2009, Monday
This tiny member of the cabbage family (or crucifer = it has 4 petals) is now in full bloom in 2 habitats. Grassland on coastal shingle and along roadside verges (where salt is applied annually). I noticed this weekend that the A259 between Rye and Winchelsea has a white haze of this plant, but the photographs are from a safer Rye Harbour. The flowers are not pure white, but have a lilac tinge.
