They have basal rosettes of entire or pinnatisect radical leaves and clasping stem leaves, and produce terminal racemes of cross-shaped, 4-petalled yellow flowers. A few are used as salad plants, and the double-flowered and variegated cultivars of B. vulgaris may be grown as ornamental plants at the front of a border.
