Basal leaves obovate-spathulate or oblanceolate-spathulate; cauline usually 10-20 x 3-6 mm, lanceolate or oblanceolate, grey-green above, white or grey beneath, larger than the basal leaves. Petals 2-3- 5 mm, entire, rarely emarginate. Silicula 2-5- 5 x 1 - 5-4 mm, obtuse to emarginate, pubescent, the hairs with 6—10(—13) rays; valves flat, but often undulate; style 0-5-2 mm. Seeds c. 3 mm; wing 0- 2-0- 8 mm wide. S.E. Europe. Al Bu Cr Gr Ju Rm Rs (W, K).

Very variable. The following is a key to some of the more distinct variants that have been described, but many intermediates occur and their distributions do not allow of a satisfactory subspecific treatment.
