Sources and commentaries

Stricly speaking, this group is used here for kales with flat leaves. According to languages, names may include other types of kale, which are detailed under Medullosa Group, Palmifolia Group, Ramosa Group, Sabellica Group, Selenisia Group. As names often apply to particular types grown locally in only one or a few countries, translation si difficult and approximate.

Kales which don't form a trunk are grown for human consumption above all in southern USA, and called collards, or spring greens in the UK. In French, they are known as collard or chou à rosette (Canada), or chou rosette (in France, Vilmorin-Andrieux).

(1) A type of kale with a high trunk. (2) Means 'fodder kale' or 'cow kale'. Some 'fodder kales' may belong to Brassica napus.
