BLACK MUSTARD (Brassica nigra (L.) W. D. J. Koch) ++Synonym — Brassica nigra var. abyssinica A. Braun, Sinapis nigra L.
Many writers do not distinguish between black, brown (Indian), and white mustard (B. nigra, B.
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.
