Arugula

 Arugula

Arugula (Eruca sativa) or rocket is an edible plant of the Mustard family (Brassicaceae). It looks amazingly similar to wild radish. I planted this one myself and a few plants actually grew. This was the second planting, as for the first one, none of the species survived.

Notice the characteristic 4 petals.
