Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.
The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

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.
