Slender toothwort and other members of the bittercress family have recently been moved from the Dentaria genus to Cardamine. Identification: Slender toothwort is a delicate forest floor plant, with several clusters of three leaves at its base, as well as smaller, narrower 3-part leaves on its stem. It is 8-16" (20-40 cm) tall, with a stem that is often purple. Leaves are usually quite deeply divided. Flowers are tubular at first, opening into four petals, pale pink or white, in clusters of several flowers. Online References:
