Boechera dentata, commonly called Short's rockcress,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the mustard family (Brassicaceae). It is native to the eastern North America, where it is found in Canada and the United States . In the United States, its range is primarily centered in the Midwest, and in Canada it is only known from Ontario.[2] Its natural habitat is in nutrient-rich alluvial forests and loamy bluffs, often on calcareous substrate.[3][4][5]
Boechera dentata is a short-lived herbaceous biennial.[6] It can be distinguished from other Boechera in its area by a combination of short fruits (reaching 4.2 cm) on short pedicels (reaching 3.5 mm), which are held spreading at maturity, and its wider stem leaves (reaching > 8 mm) that have a pubescent upper surface.[3] It produces cream-colored flowers in the spring.
