Cardamine dissecta is a species of flowering plant in the mustard family Brassicaceae.[3]
Cardamine dissecta was first described as Dentaria dissecta by the American botanist Melines Conklin Leavenworth in 1824.[4] The American botanist Ihsan Ali Al-Shehbaz placed Dentaria dissecta Leavenw. in genus Cardamine in 1988.[2] The name Cardamine dissecta (Leavenw.) Al-Shehbaz is widely used today.[3][5]
Cardamine dissecta is a member of the Cardamine concatenata alliance, a monophyletic group of eastern North American species that includes Cardamine angustata, Cardamine concatenata, Cardamine diphylla, Cardamine dissecta, Cardamine incisa, and Cardamine maxima.[6] All members of the alliance were previously placed in genus Dentaria Tourn. ex L., which is now considered to be a synonym for Cardamine L.[7]
Cardamine dissecta is native to eastern North America. Its range extends north to Ohio and Indiana, and south to Virginia and Alabama.[6] It is known to occur in the following states:[3][8]
Its distribution is centered in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama.[9]
The global conservation status of Cardamine dissecta is apparently secure (G4).[1]
