Brassica napiformis, Bailey (Sinapis juncea var. napiformis, Paill. & Bois). Tuberous-rooted Chinese Mustard. Fig. 632. Radical Ivs. comparatively few, the blade thin and oval in outline, and on long and slender, slightly feathered petioles, sharply and irregularly toothed, with a thin bloom: beak of the pod more abrupt: root distinctly hard and tuberous. China.— This vegetable appeared in France in 1882 from  seeds sent by Bretschneider, of the Russian legation, Pekin. It was offered by American seedsmen as early as 1889. The plant is a biennial, with thin bluish foliage, and a small tuberous root like a conical turnip. These roots reach a diam. of 3 or 4 in., and are scarcely distinguishable from white turnips in appearance, texture and flavor. In China the tubers are used as a winter vegetable, the seeds being sown in summer. The plant does not appear to have been brought to the attention of botanists until Bretschneider published an account of it in a French journal in 1881. Paillieux and Bois (Le Potager d'un Curieux) regard it as a variety of Brassica júncea, to which the Chinese mustard belongs, but it is very different from that plant. It is nearly related to pak-choi, and it may have sprung from the same species; but it is clearly distinguished by its sharply toothed Ivs., one of which is shown in Fig. 632.

Brassica napiformis, Bailey (Sinapis juncea var. napiformis, Paill. & Bois). Tuberous-rooted Chinese Mustard. Radical Ivs. comparatively few, the blade thin and oval in outline, and on long and slender, slightly feathered petioles, sharply and irregularly toothed, with a thin bloom: beak of the pod more abrupt: root distinctly hard and tuberous. China.— This vegetable appeared in France in 1882 from seeds sent by Bretschneider, of the Russian legation, Pekin. It was offered by American seedsmen as early as 1889. The plant is a biennial, with thin bluish foliage, and a small tuberous root like a conical turnip. These roots reach a diam. of 3 or 4 in., and are scarcely distinguishable from white turnips in appearance, texture and flavor. In China the tubers are used as a winter vegetable, the seeds being sown in summer. The plant does not appear to have been brought to the attention of botanists until Bretschneider published an account of it in a French journal in 1881. Paillieux and Bois (Le Potager d'un Curieux) regard it as a variety of Brassica júncea, to which the Chinese mustard belongs, but it is very different from that plant. It is nearly related to pak-choi, and it may have sprung from the same species; but it is clearly distinguished by its sharply toothed lvs.
