Note
|
Brassica integrifolia is very closely related to B. juncea and may not merit the status of a species. Plants usually determined as B. integrifolia have shorter, less torulose siliques and shorter beaks than B. juncea. Also, the leaves are irregularly doubly dentate rather than notched as in B. juncea.
