- Comments
- Cardamine longii was named for freshwater intertidal plants lacking leaf divisions or having fewer leaf divisions than normal C. pennsylvanica, as well as generally reduced reproductive structures, including the lack of petals. Although not conclusive, preliminary DNA analysis and common garden work suggest that the morphology of C. longii may be induced by growing conditions, and its separation from C. pensylvanica may not be warranted. Further study is needed.
- Habitat
- Tidal freshwater marshes and alluvial swamps, especially deeply flooded, baldcypress-tupelo swamps. Infrequent, inner s. and c. Coastal Plain.
