A small weed with hand-shaped clusters of leaves at the end of brittle stalks. Straight risers carry clumps of tiny skeletal orchid-like white to pinkish-white flowers. The seed forms as long thin beans held horizontally from the flower stalk.
Harvesting

Preparation
The plant is cooked as a cabbage equivalent. Preservation and drying has not been attempted.
Uses
It certainly is filling and agreeable as a foodstuff.
