Question
Found this mystery mustard (?) growing on a sandy barrier island in NJ back in late April. The leaves appeared rubbery similar to other 'seaside' plants. Any ideas?
Answer
Dear michaelcobballen, I'm sorry that I do not recognize this plant. You are certainly correct with the family (Brassicaceae), but it does not appear as anything I've encountered from north of you in New England. If you do get the opportunity to view the plant in fruit and get images, please post them. The fruits are extremely important for identification and will give us more clues as to this plant's identity. Best wishes.
