Cochlearia pyrenaica Pyrenean Scurvygrass
In spite of its name this species is native in the British Isles as well as being common here in the Pyrenees. Like all Cochlearia species, unless you know that other similar ones do not grow in the area, a careful examination of basal leaves and stem leaves plus other features is necessary to be sure of a correct identification.
