Common on rocks in damp areas . Very distinctive leaf ( the curl in the middle is said to resemble a navel ) . Has a pretty white flower on 3 - 9" stem a bit later in the year . The leaf is edible and not bad as an addition to a mixed salad . It is fleshy and peppery , not unlike Nasturtium . Not much danger of confusion with anything harmful . Wink
