Cardamine longii Fernald. Common name: Long's Bittercress. Phenology: Jun-Sep. Habitat: Tidal freshwater marshes and cypress-gum swamps. Distribution: Coastal in distribution, irregularly from ME south to NC and SC (or FL?).
ID notes: Difficult to distinguish from depauperate or submerged forms of C. pensylvanica with few leaflets; the short style (capsule beak) and short and thick pedicels appear to be the most reliable characteristics.
