Japanese: ミブナ(壬生菜) - ミブナ(英語表記)Brassica rapa var. laciniifolia
Mibuna (Mibuna) - Brassica rapa var. laciniifolia
It is an annual or biennial plant of the Brassicaceae family. It is a variety of rape, but is quite different from Chinese cabbage and other species of Kyona. The basal leaves are clumpy, spatula-shaped, oblong, almost entire, not lobed like Kyona, and somewhat thick. In spring, it produces yellow cruciferous flowers (known as rape blossoms). It has a unique fragrance and spiciness, and is mainly used in pickles. Its place of origin is unknown, but it was cultivated in Mibu, Kyoto for a long time, hence the name, and it is also sometimes called Mizuna.

アブラナ科の一,二年草。アブラナの変種であるが,ハクサイなどとはかなり違ったキョウナの仲間である。根出葉は叢生し,へら状長楕円形,ほとんど全縁でキョウナのように葉が裂け込まず,葉質はやや厚い。春,黄色の十字花 (いわゆる菜の花) を開く。特有の香気と辛みがあり,主として漬物にする。原産地は不明であるが,京都の壬生に古くから栽培されていたところからこの名があり,またミズナと呼ぶこともある。
