Scruvy grass is a biennial or perennial plant which grows wild in moist places in northern Europe and the northern parts of North America and Asia; it is also found in cultivation. The main root has many fibrous branch roots and produces angular, furrowed stems as well as fleshy basal leaves. The basal leaves are oblong, reniform, or cordate; the scattered stem leaves are obovate to oblong and sessile or nearly so. Small white flowers grow in racemes from April to August. The fruit is a small, almost globose pod containing small, reddish-brown seeds.
