Read about Brassica rapa subsp. campestris in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Brassica campestris, Linn. First lvs. hairy; all lvs. glaucous and thickish or somewhat fleshy, the lower ones lyrate and toothed, the st.-lvs. cordate-amplexicaul and acuminate: fls. shorter and also smaller than in the B. oleracea series. A weed in waste places, in its run-wild form, but rarely persisting long or becoming troublesome. There are oil-bearing forms (var. oleifera, DC.). Var. Napo-Brassica, DC. (B. oleracea var. Napo- Brassica, Linn.), is the rutabaga evolution of the plant. The rutabaga tuber is either white-fleshed or yellow- fleshed, but the preference in this country seems to be for the yellow kinds.
