Bunias orientalis Bunias orientalis flowers Bunias orientalis fruit

This eastern European introduction has established itself mostly in southern England particularly round London. There is a significant outpost in Edinburgh but is is infrequent elsewhere.

It is a plant of rough ground and waste places like many yellow crucifers. The wartiness refers to the little bumps on the fruits which can just about be seen in the photo.
