Its fleshy, lobed or toothed leaves grow in a basal rosette at ground level, and also grow along the stem. The lowest and longest leaves are only a few centimeters long. This plant produces blooms in inflorescences that hold many small flowers. Each flower has yellow petals just a few millimeters long, with six stamens at its center. The fruit of Lepidium flavum Torr. is a rounded, winged, flattened capsule that contains tiny seeds.
