'''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]] [[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]] 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 Belle Isle cress, Early yellowrocket, American cress, dryland cress, upland cress, cassabully, creasy salad, Early winter cress, American cress and American watercress.
