Arabis perstellata of Michigan Flora.
Floodplain forests and banks along the Grand River; very local.
See Al-Shehbaz & Zarucchi (2008) for the nomenclature. This is quite distinctive, with its ± dentate and pubescent upper cauline leaves. Fruiting plants often have a new basal rosette, suggesting that this woodland species may be more of a short lived perennial than the other Boechera species.
