Barbarea vulgaris , which is sometimes grown as a potherb, is highly variable in length and orientation of fruit and fruiting pedicel, style length, and the division of cauline leaves. (floranorthamerica.org)
Barbarea intermedia is quite distinct from Barbarea vulgaris in smaller flowers (petals 4-6 mm long as against 6-9 mm , deeply pinnatisect upper leaves, basal leaves with narrower terminal lobe, thicker (1.5-2 mm as against 1-1.5 mm ), and straight siliqua. (efloraofindia.com)
The genetically determined glucosinolate pattern of Barbarea vulgaris can be dominated by either glucobarbarin (BAR-type) or by gluconasturtiin (NAS-type). (knaw.nl)

Brassicaceae2
Barbarea (winter cress or yellow rocket) is a genus of about 22 species of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae, native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with the highest species diversity in southern Europe and southwest Asia. (wikipedia.org)
The genus Barbarea has emerged as a model for evolution and ecology of plant defense compounds, due to its unusual glucosinolate profile and production of saponins, unique to the Brassicaceae. (pacb.com)
Verna6
Barbarea verna, known as upland cress, early winter cress, American cress, Belle Isle cress and scurvy grass, is used to add a spicy taste to salads and mixed leaf greens for cooking. (wikipedia.org)
Barbarea verna is a BIENNIAL growing to 0.3 m (1ft) by 0.3 m (1ft in). (pfaf.org)
Early Winter Cress or Early Yellow Rocket (Barbarea verna) - 01) Early winter cress is one of the early spring wildflowers, but it is only in its bud stage when the dandelions begin to bloom, as can be seen in this photo (right side). (all-creatures.org)
Barbarea verna is usually found on waste land, in road verges or on railway banks. (myspecies.info)

Orthoceras4
The photographer's identification Barbarea orthoceras has not been reviewed. (berkeley.edu)
M. L. Fernald (1909) reported the southwestern Asian Barbarea plantaginea de Candolle from Alaska, but it is certain that his records were based on plants of B. orthoceras , which is rather rare in New England, where it appears to be restricted to portions of northern Maine and New Hampshire. (ngpherbaria.org)
Barbarea is named for St. Barbara, while orthoceras is from Greek for straight, upright and horn. (ngpherbaria.org)
Genus1
The genus name Barbarea derives from Saint Barbara, the patron saint of miners, as this plant in the past was used to soothe the wounds caused by explosions. (ncsu.edu)

This study revealed that seed extract preparations from Barbarea verna (winter cress) are rich in phenethylisothiocyanates (PEITC) that have potent anti-inflammatory properties. (nih.gov)
Winter cress (Barbarea verna) seed preparations rich in phenethylisothiocyanate (PEITC) had strong in vivo and in vitro anti-inflammatory activity, significantly reducing the size of carrageenan-induced rat paw edema. (nih.gov)
