Hi,
I have placed a picture on my web site, showing a plant I am unable to
identify. Please see
http://www.astrostitch.co.uk/plant.htm.
The plant was situated amongst Common Cleavers and Brambles by the edge of a
nature trail (disused rail track) in Nottinghamshire, England. The picture
was taken on 10th April 2004.
I have looked in 4 different wild flower books and been unable to identify
the plant, the closest being something in the Crucifers (or Brassicae). I
would be grateful if someone could assist me!!
Looks very much like the genus _Lunaria_ to me.
They later have interesting flat fruits.

You're right, it is a member of the Brassicaceae.
Hope this helps.
cheers
