Bog Yellowcress

Bog Yellowcress
Rorippa palustris

This is a plant that the splitters have not got a hold of yet. It occurs worldwide and is native to Indiana. It is highly adaptable, although mostly occurs in wet spots, and is variable in appearance. This makes it a bit confusing to identify, but I think that most yellowcress plants found in wet spots are probably this species.

Small yellow flowers and roundish pods that stick outwards
Deeply lobed leaves
