Leavenworthia exigua var. laciniata, the Kentucky glade cress, is a threatened variety of flowering annual plant in the mustard family endemic to a small area in the southern outskirts of Louisville, Kentucky.[1] The taxon is listed as threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The federal government designated 2,053 acres as critical habitat for Kentucky glade cress.[2] Critical habitat for the species in Kentucky's Bullitt and Jefferson counties is threatened by developers, including a proposed natural gas pipeline from Louisville Gas & Electric.[3][4] A campaign to protect the Kentucky glade cress exists.[5]
