Rorippa divaricataObserver
pjd1Description
Occasional - seen only as seedlings growing on damp shaded ledges above river gorge. You will have to believe me that this is Rorippa divaricata as I saw no flowering or fruiting material (but I know this species very well from northern New Zealand offshore islands and other places - see https://inaturalist.nz/observations/2584497 and https://inaturalist.nz/observations/1349069 for flowering and fruiting specimens I have observed elsewhere in New Zealand.
