Field Notes

Description:

Rocket is a leafy plant with rather lax stems so it tends to sprawl on the ground, though is sometimes grows taller. The leaves are pinnately lobed, with a large terminal lobe. The flowers have four widely-separated petals which are creamy with distinct violet veins. The fruit is torpedo shaped with a sharp beak.

Habitat:

Favours disturbed soil, cultivated or waste ground, roadsides, or sandy area.s
