Cut-leaved Toothwort

Dentaria laciniata

This dainty spring woodland flower has white or pale pink tubular flowers with four flaring lobes; the calyx behind the lobes is pale green or pinkish. The leaves are deeply divided into three (or 5) almost linear lobes, each of which has indentations on its edges. In addition to basal leaves, there are leaves that appear on the flowering stems in a whorl below the blossoms.
