  • Looking east from Round Cove Road, Sebasco Estates, Phippsburg Maine to Burnt Coat Island Island with wild mustard in the foreground, May. A common field weed, Field Mustard is the origin of many cultivars including canola, turnip and bok choy. Mostly a weedy species of waste places and disturbed sites around human activities, it is likely far more common and widespread than herbarium records indicate. There are many mustard species with small yellow flowers—they can be hard to distinguish just from the flowers. Field Mustard is most easily identified by the large rounded basal leaves and smaller clasping stem leaves. Of European origin, it has naturalized throughout the United States.
