I was very surprised to see that they have given a name to meethi sarson as KANOLA>...
when they adapt a name like KANOLA ... do they imply a low euricic acid mustard oil?
are there papers that support that this particular variety is low in that toxin?


There more than one plants sold under the name sarson. This one is Brassica napus L. var. napus, commonly known as Gobhi sarson. Note glaucous leaves, amplexicaul leaves with auricles, lighter yellow flowers overtopped by buds.
Is this one used as Sarson ki Sak in Punjab?
Yes, especially by those who do not relish the bitterness of desi sarson, Brassica juncea.

efloraindia: 221111 BRS199: only 1 correct image.
Pl. find the attached file contain photo for sp. confirmation. Mustard sp.?
Location: Mill Qtrs., Near Aerodrome Post, Coimbatore
Habitat : Garden
Habit: Shrub
Flowers pale yellow, open flowers not overtopping the apical buds..... Brassica napus
It is too distant a shot to have a clear view of leaves.
please find the close up of the leaves, flower and pod from Orissa of the same plant for conformation. Kindly check, i have a doubt whether this is Brassica napus ?
How confusing a distant shot can be. It is not Brassica, rather Cleome, May be Cleome viscosa
But there is a strong doubt. Your first photograph and subsequent photographsmay be different. The first may still be Brassica napus.
You seem to have badly mixed up your plants.
Yes i uploaded two plants in the same thread (Mixed up during editing and size reduction). You are right. The first one is Brassica and all others are Cleome viscosa.

Herb ID request - RK44 - 2-Nov-2012: Request id of this short herb of about 1 - 2 feet growing wild in Mumbai. The underside of the leaf is covered with small spines.
Look like a member of Brassicaceae Family
This looks like Verbascum chinense.
Brassica napus

Don't know which Brassica this is.
Species : UNKNOWN
H & H : cultivated oil-seed plant
Date : 29/01/12
Place : Hooghly
I think Brassica napus
Thank you very very much. These Brassica species are very difficult to understand. Now, as i read the description of this species in FoC i find that upper cauline leaves are sessile.
... these were taken in January this year, near my home, we don't have any land though.

This was seen to be cultivated near Village Mana (Uttarakhand). I think this is the Mustard plant (Brassica juncea)?
Hope Brassica napus var. napus

Requesting to please ID this plant with yellow flowers growing wildly in San Francisco, USA in May 2013.
Brassica napus I hope
