Cant find this one in the books. The leaves wrap around the stem so there are no petioles. The basal leaves are a different shape and alot larger than the stem leaves.

See how the stem leaves (entire margins) wrap around the stem

And the Basal leaves.

That's a stinging nettle next to it in the last picture, dunno if that helps!

Oilseed Rape ?

Bernie

Thats what im thinking but cant seem to find any pictures of Rape leaves; but im still looking!!

Anyone else??

 

[mick miller]

Treacle mustard or wallflower? Kind of hard to to tell if it's wall flower from my field guide, there's only a tiny photo but the leaf shape looks good, are those little fruits coming out of the stem in the first photo? And if so are they round in cross section and hairy?

I think they are seed pods. I cant remember their cross section, sorry. The main thing that stands out are the stem leaves that wrap around the stem, but the big basal leaves have petiols.

THIS SITE IS FALLING APART, WHY ARE MY POSTS APPEARING TWICE???

It's not wallflower or chieranthus cheiri...scratch that.

 

[mick miller]

Your right, it's oilseed rape. EDIT - although on closer inspection the leaves and seed don't look right. Hmmmm...I'm confuddled...

Off the top of my head it looks like Woad.

 

[saddle_tramp]

looks like rape to me, or maybe charlock

Off the top of my head it looks like Woad.

I cant find Woad in ANY wild flower book, but some of the pictures from google show a similar stem/leaf setup. Saying that though, the petals look totaly different.

 

[mick miller]

It proves one thing though...I need a better book!

 

[alpha_centaur]

Looks like oilseed rape to me, though this looks like a slightly different variety of it.

 

[mick miller]

Does rape develop those pods as seen in photo 1 though? The petals look spot on, it's the rest that leaves me wondering.

 

[Toddy]

My first thought was wild turnip........

It's not woad, I grow that and by now it's gone over to hanging black seeds.
The leaves look a bit large to me for rape, though the flower's very similar.

cheers,
Toddy

This looks close to me, but still not quite right; Erysimum cheiranthoides

Similar, but the stem leaves dont seem to wrap around the stem in your photo's. Im still leaning toward rape, as Bernie says.

The leaves are spot on, but the seed pods are missing BUT this could simply mean that they havent developed yet.

Nice find alpha_centaur.
