Does anybody know the common or scientific name of this little mustard (photos below)? It popped up in some soil from the Washington-Idaho area. Thanks!

From the pods it might be Camelina microcarpa but the leaves are very different from that.

Yeah, from the photos of Camelina in Google Images, I would agree...can't reconcile the leaves with the silques though. Strange, but hoping it strikes a chord with someone. Thanks!
