| Remarks | Jiezi (Jap. name: Gaishi) had been listed in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia until 1971(8th revised edition). It defines the seed of B. juncea and congeners. As a comprehensive term, Karashi, B. juncea (n=18), is amphidiploid, a natural cross between Aburana, B. rapa L (n=10), and Kurogarashi, B. nigra (L.) W. D. J. Koch (n=8). The place of its origin is said to be the Middle East or Central Asia. In China, besides narrow-defined Karashi (var. juncea) which is the material for Jiezi, the following are also used as food.: - Hakarashina (var. integrifolia Sinskaya or var. multisecta L. H. Bailey) is the pungent leaf or stem. - Nekarashina (var. megarrhiza Tsen et Lee) is the root. - Zāsai (var. tumida Tsen et Lee) is the swollen base of leaf-blade and petiole. Kurogarashi is cultivated in the Middle East and Mediterranean region as a vegetable or medicinal plant like Karashi. The seed of Kurogarashi is called Kokugaishi. | |||||
