Sources and commentaries

Other endemic groups bear only names in one or two languages. It is the case of :

• Soncino Group. Roots of at least two cultivars, radice di Soncino and radice di Chiavari, are eaten as a vegetable in Liguria (Italy).
• Grumolo Group. Rosettes of thick round leaves are eaten as a delicacy salad in Italy (cicoria a grumolo, ceriolo, scirolo) and France (chicorée améliorée).

• French
  • Chicorée sauvage is often used in French, but is particularly misleading for a crop with so many cultivar groups.
