Field Pepperweed-Lepidium campestre
This non-native weed from Europe is field peppeweed (Lepidium campestre), one of the many members of the Mustard Family (Brassicaceae) that has made its way across the ocean. It now grows in much of North America in disturbed areas.
Flowers are white with four petals.
The leaves are an important distinguishing feature--they clasp the stem.
