The leaves of Wallflower-cabbage are the best ID character. First, they are glaucous or glaucescent. The basal leaves are cut into pinnatisect lobes or segments; each segment has rather ragged or toothed margins. The lower stem leaves are similar but narrower, and up the stem they become progressively smaller and fewer-segmented such that the uppermost do not at all resemble the lowest.
