So if you study the flower carefully ,that might help. You can tell so much from a pic.

Antonio,for the purpose of IDing mustard family, all you need to remember is "4 petals with 6 stamens--4 tall and 2 short". If you find that combination in a flower, then you know it is a member of the Mustard family.Also,On the outside of the mustard flower you will see 4 sepals, usually green. There are also 4 petals, typically arranged like either the letters "X" or "H"
