Short pods oval or elliptic, 2-3mm long, flat, slightly concave at top, persistent very short squid, very narrowly winged at the top of the fruit, and less than lmm wide. Seeds oval-shaped oval, smooth surface, brown-red or brown. Flowering from May to June, fruiting from June to July.

Leaves alternate; basal leaves with stalks, petiole 1-1.5 cm; leaf blade oblanceolate, l-5 cm long, pinnately divided or pinnately divided, lobes unequal in size, ovate or oblong, bases Narrow, margin serrate, short hairs on both sides; cauline leaves with short stems, leaf blade oblanceolate or linear, 1.5-5cm long, 2-10mm wide, light Rui acute, base gradually narrow. Racemes terminal, flowers numerous; ary 4, green, ovate or elliptic, ca. 1 mm; petals 4, white, obovate, and sepals as long or slightly longer; stamens 2 or 4, nearly as long, long 1.5-2mm; pistil 1, ovary ovoid and flat, 2-loculed, style not evident, stigma capitate. The short-horned fruit is nearly round, 3 mm long, 1–2 mm wide, flat, slightly concave at the tip, narrow-edged at the edges, and extremely short in style. Seeds 1 per locule, ovate, ca. 1 mm, smooth, reddish brown, white narrow wings at edges. Flowering from April to May, fruiting from June to July.
3. The sowbone herb is annual or biennial and is 20-80cm high. The whole plant is grayish white. Stems erect, upper branches, with longitudinal grooves, densely divided into short pubescent. Leaf outlines oblong or long-lanceolate, 3-7 cm long, 1-4 cm wide, 2- to 3-pinnately divided or deeply lobed, finally lobed or strip-shaped oblong, long 2- 5mm, apex obtuse, entire, branches pubescent on both surfaces; lower stem leaves petiolate, distal petiole gradually reduced or subsessile. Racemes terminal, with many flowers; sepals 4, oblong, rounded, apex obtuse, ca. 2 mm, margin membranous, abaxially branched finely pilose; petals yellow, spatulate, nearly as long as sepals; Stamens 6, several as long as petals, base with claws; pistil 1, ovary cylindrical, style short, stigma pressed into a flat head. Cylindrical, 2.5-3cm long, glabrous, slightly introverted, not in a straight line with fruit stems, evident in the middle veins.
