Lepidium hyssopifolium

Differs from taxa previously included within this species (Lepidium africanum, L. pseudohyssopifolium, L. pseudotasmanicum) in having pedicels hairy on upper and lower surface and in overall cover of plant by fine, short hairs.

There are two forms in Victoria, both rare. The commoner form from inland sites has dense stem, patent stem hairs that are short and conical (length less than three times width) and rhombic-elliptic fruits. This form equates to Lepidium tasmanicum Thell. The form that is represented by the Type specimen of L. hyssopifolium and is known in Victoria only from near Port Fairy (as noted above) has rather sparse, patent and retrorse stem hairs that are mostly slender and acicular (length more than three times width) and orbicular to ovate-elliptic fruits.
