I looked through observations of Brassica nigra and half of them (even the research grade ones) turn out to be Hirschfeldia incana. How come? Both species can be vaguely similar in general habit but that’s where the resemblance ends.

Brassica nigra and Hirschfeldia incana, why so many mistakes?

There’re many mistakes made, you can add this species to the list of AI cleaning thread, bet most ids are added as suggestions from it.
