Lepidium virginicum, also known as least pepperwort[2] or Virginia pepperweed,[3] is an herbaceous plant in the mustard family (Brassicaceae).

Virginia pepperweed grows as a weed in most crops and is found in roadsides, landscapes and waste areas.

[5] The leaves on the stems of Virginia pepperweed are sessile, linear to lanceolate and get larger as they approach the base.

[4] As with Lepidium campestre, Virginia pepperweed's most identifiable characteristic is its raceme, which comes from the plant's highly branched stem.

[4] The racemes give Virginia pepperweed the appearance of a bottlebrush.
