'''Land cress''' (''Barbarea verna''), also known as '''American cress''', '''bank cress''', '''Belle Isle cress''', '''Bermuda cress''', '''early yellowrocket''', '''early wintercress''', '''scurvy cress''', and '''upland cress''', is a [[Biennial plant|biennial]] [[herb]] in the family [[Brassicaceae]]. It is native to southwestern [[Europe]], but is also cultivated in [[Florida]]. As it requires less water than [[watercress]], it is easier to cultivate. Land cress has been cultivated as a [[leaf vegetable]] in [[England]] since the 17th century. Land cress is considered a satisfactory substitute for watercress. It can be used in sandwiches, or salads, or cooked like [[spinach]], or used in soup. Land cress can be grown easily in any garden. Like [[watercress]], it loves water, but does not do well when partially submerged for long periods of time. This [[Perennial plant|perennial]] needs full sun and frequent watering in any garden, unless near a direct source of water. Synonyms include ''Barbarea praecox'' and ''Lepidum nativum''. Other common names include dryland cress, cassabully, and American watercress. A variegated form is available. {{Inc| Barbarea praecox, R. Br. (B. verna, Asch.). Early Winter, or Bell Isle Cress. Distinguished by the more numerous divisions of the Lvs. (4-8 pairs) and thickened pedicels. Slightly cult. as a winter salad, and known S. as scurvy grass. Naturalized from Eu. }} ==Cultivation== The plant easily self seeds on a neutral soil. ===Propagation=== By seed ===Pests and diseases=== Very resistant to club root and insect attacks (whitefly, cabbage root fly, and cabbage white butterfly, and cabbage moths) ==Varieties==  Synonyms include ''Barbarea praecox'' and ''Lepidum nativum''. ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References==     ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
