Rorippa columbiae, also known as Columbian yellowcress or Columbia yellow cress, is a flowering plant in the Brassicaceae family. It is native to the western United States, specifically from central Washington to northeastern California. This plant typically grows in moist to wet, sandy habitats such as dry lakes. It is not a common plant, with only about fifteen known occurrences in the Modoc Plateau region of California. It is also a candidate for protection in Oregon and is listed as a threatened species in Washington. Rorippa columbiae is a perennial herb with hairy stems that can reach up to 40 centimeters in length. Its leaves are deeply lobed and may be cut all the way to the midrib. The lower leaves have petioles while the upper leaves clasp the stem. The flowers are mustard-like with small yellow petals, and the fruit is a plump, hairy silique containing many tiny seeds.
