LARGE FLOWERED ROCKET

Description. This is a handsome plant; it resembles the garden rocket, but has larger flowers. It has numerous stalks, of a pale green colour, and usually naked towards the root. The first leaves rise in a tuft, and are long and beautifully divided; they are of a pale green, and divided in such deep segments, that they resemble pinnated leaves. The upper leaves grow irregularly upon the stalks, and are also so divided, that they appear pinnated. The flowers are of a fine yellow colour, and they grow in a kind of spikes at the tops of the stalks. The seed are small and brown, and grow in long pointed pods.
