Lepidium latifolium, commonly known as perennial pepperweed, broadleaved pepperweed, pepperwort, or peppergrass, is a perennial plant that is a member of the mustard and cabbage family. It is native to southern Europe, Mediterranean countries and Asia as far east as the Himalayas, and has been introduced to North America, Mexico, and Australia. It grows to 30–100 cm (12–39 in), with numerous woody stems, alternating waxy leaves and clusters of small white flowers. It produces small (1.6 millimeter) fruits which each contain two reddish seeds. It has an extensive root network, known to reach 9 ft (2.7 m) in depth, and constituting 40% of the total biomass of the plant. It is most invasive in wetland habitats, and is a pest in many areas. The leaves, shoots, and fruits of this plant are edible, and the dried stems are sometimes used in flower arrangements.
