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.
