What’s the difference between London Rocket and Wild Mustard?
How can I tell the difference between two weeds in Australia, London Rocket (Sisymbrium irio) and Wild Mustard (Sisymbrium orientale)? They both look very similar.
Wild Mustard is also known as Indian hedge mustard or Hedge mustard.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!!
