Lepidium densiflorum, also known as common pepperweed or prairie peppergrass, is a species of flowering plant in the mustard family. It is a common and widespread plant in North America, found in various habitats across Canada and the United States. It is an annual or biennial herb with a short, erect stem and leaves that grow in a basal rosette. The plant produces tiny flowers and small fruits. Its origin is uncertain, but it is believed to be native to North America and was first discovered in Finland in the early 20th century. It is often considered a noxious and invasive weed. The plant has been found to have potential uses in biological control of mosquito larvae and as a source of compounds with antioxidant properties. It can be distinguished from similar species such as Shepherd's purse and Field Pennycress by its stem, flowers, fruit, and seeds.
