Question
I'm afraid this plant which is growing on the banks of a nearby stream in southwestern Vermont is narrowleaf bittercress (Cardamine impatiens). Am I correct? Thank you so much for your help.
Answer
Dear lmc825, I believe your hypothesis is correct. While I can't see certain features that would allow me to confirm this identification for you, the leaflets outline and plant habit do indeed look like Cardamine impatiens (narrow-leaved bittercress). Best wishes.
