Several varieties of this species are commonly cultivated in 

 India and China, and its exact native country is uncertain. Mr. 

 F. S. A. Bourne, H.M. Consular Agent at Chungking, has sent 

 to Kew a fine series of specimens of varieties of this and B. cam- 

 pestris, cultivated in the province of Szechuen, with particulars 

 of their uses whicli will be published elsewhere. One variety of 

 B. juncea is cultivated in immense quantities, and, after drying in 

 the sun, is pickled and eaten with rice. 



[Brassica violacea, Linn. Sp. PI. ed. 1, p. 667, is not represented 

 in the Linnean Herbarium, and is quite indeterminable from the 

 description.]
