location
San Bruno Mountain (San Mateo County, California, US)family
Brassicaceae
notes Thanks to Sandy B for pointing me in the right direction for this mysterious (and unfortunately non-native) purple-flowered mustard. A distinctive diagnostic character is the presence of opposite leaves...a relatively unusual occurrence in Brassicaceae. According to the FNA Brassicaceae treatment there are only a few taxa in the family that have opposite leaves: 5 species of Cardamine, a Draba species, and Lunaria annua...and other than Lunaria annua none occur in our area. In addition, leaf shape and other characters clinch the ID. photo category: Plant - annual/perennial
