Czern., B. nigra (L.) W. D. J. Koch, and Sinapis alba L.) ++Many writers do not distinguish between black, brown (Indian), and white mustard (Brassica nigra,
Brassica juncea, and Sinapis alba, respectively), but the spice and medicine trade seems to favor
the white. And the canola and rapeseed varieties have been hopelessly manipulated, even in the
GMO field. Few, if any, taxonomists and agronomists can distinguish all Brassica varieties and
species, and probably fewer chemists, herbalists, pharmacists, and physicians can be sure of the
variety or species. My entries can be no more reliable than their sources. Seems as though the
group might better be treated generically than specifically or varietally.
