R. W. Smith
An Old World native of unknown origin, long cultivated for its crisp, thick, edible roots; sporadic in disturbed ground, such as roadsides, fields, disturbed shores. First collected in 1893 in Van Buren Co. Specimens of ambiguous flower color and lacking fruit mature enough to determine its distinctive fat shape may be distinguished from R. raphanistrum by the absence or obscurity of the stalk at the base of the young fruit – see comments under R. raphanistrum.
