Cardamine amara Large Bittercress
In quite a few of the wet places this plant was growing and because it was rather small with not many flowers we puzzled about its identity for a while. The plants I usually see in the British Isles are more than twice as tall with many more and larger flowers. The prominent purplish anthers are a characteristic of this plant.
