Leavenworthia alabamica is a species of flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae.

Scientists use species' genes to determine morphology because some populations are self-compatible, and some are self-incompatible.

Self- incompatible species tend to have larger flowers to aid in pollination.

They can also be found in abandoned fields, pastures, rocky knolls, and roadsides.
