I found this growing wild in a field near my home. I have done extensive research and came up with M. dissecta - am I right? The bloom is white and there are 4 seeds in a papery pod.

That sure looks like it to me just from the leaf, but I am no expert. How about telling us how you came by it, and some more about your plant. Frank
