			'''''Brassica rapa''''' (syn. '''''Brassica campestris'''''), commonly known as '''field mustard''' or '''turnip mustard'''<ref>http://www.cas.vanderbilt.edu/bioimages/species/brra.htm</ref> is a [[plant]] widely cultivated as a [[leaf vegetable]] (see [[mizuna]]), a [[root vegetable]], and an [[oilseed]].
