Erophila verna subsp. verna

(a) Subsp. verna View in CoL ( E. krockeri Andrz. , E. majuscula Jordan , Draba obconica (De Bary) Hayek ): Stems solitary or several, up to 20 cm in fruit. Leaves broadly lanceolate or elliptical, more or less densely stellately-hairy on upper surface. Sepals 1-5-2 mm; petals c. 2-5 mm; longer stamens exceeding stigma. Silicula 6-10 mm, elliptical or oblanceolate; fruiting pedicels 10-25 mm. Widespread in W., C. & N. Europe, and probably throughout the range o f the species, but less common in S. & S.E. Europe.

E. simplex Winge , Compt. Rend. Trav. Lab. Carlsb. (Sér. Physiol.) 23: 70 (1940), a dwarf plant with single stems up to 8 cm, nearly entire leaves, and subpyriform inflated silicula, almost certainly belongs here. It has 2n— 14.
