Descurainia incisa, June 16, 2020

Common & scientific name
Mountain tansymustard, Descurainia incisa

Family
Mustard, Brassicaceae

Location

Difficult Trail, 8,000’

Fun, weird, helpful, or little known fact

Yes, it’s weedy looking, tall and stringy, but it’s native, it’s edible, and it’s part of the great floral melting pot!

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.
