Dolomites Help
« on: June 07, 2015, 09:15:55 PM »
I hope someone with more brain power can solve this one. Photos taken today in the Dolomites show a plant which appears to be Murbeckiella pinnatifida but there is no notch in the end of the petals. Is this another case of plants not reading the books or have I barked up the wrong tree?

Isn't the foliage wrong for  Murbeckiella pinnatifida  ?

I would say it is a Cardamine.

Thanks, but the pictures I can find of C impatiens look to have more slender foliage. My first thought had been a Cardamine but none of the books I have with me included C impatiens. Jury still out!
