Its quite an impressive plant, very broad leaves for a native brassicaceae

Hypothetically speaking, is it possible to identify crucifers without flower or siliqua?
You may have found a new species...

In short, the answer is yes depending on the genus involved, in this case what we are looking at is quite clearly B.grayi in my view. I'm happy to provide more information if that would be useful.
