The plant inhabits springs
and small shadowed brooks
on sandy substratum
or emergent patches of wet sand in sun-lit places, with very clean
water of neutral pH. In Poland, it created its own association Cochlearictum
polonicae at the Cardamino-Montion
alliance
. In Ukraine, it is a component
of Magnocaricion
plant alliances.
This plant grows in the Habitats
Directive
listed habitat 7220 "Petrifying springs with tufa formation (Cratoneurion)"
(Commission
of the European Communities 2009).[1].

Notes
Name
Status: Accepted Name

Last scrutiny: 2009
A tentatively accepted name in the RHS
Horticultural Database.
Recent molecular studies (Cie?lak et
al. 2010) show the Cochlearia
polonica is a narrow endemic taxon
to southern Poland, genetically
different from other Cochlearia
species. The population from Ukraine, regarded as C.
polonica, represents diploid
C. pyrenaica
and not C. polonica.
However, in this assessment
C.
polonica is considered to be present in both countries. (Ref.
264165).
