Orychophragmus Violaceus, Violet Orychophragmus Seed 3000 PCS, Eryuelan

Orychophragmus is a genus of plants in the mustard family (Brassicaceae) found in Asia. The most difficult thing about this plant is its name. I’ve heard it called hanadaikon (“flower-daikon”), but other names include Ooaraseitou, Murasaki -hana-na (“purple-flower-rape”), Shikinsou (“purple-gold-plant”), and Shokatsusai (the Chinese name). It is a member of the Brassicaceae, the large family that includes vegetables such as cabbages And radishes. Of course, daikon is the name of the giant Japanese radishes, known in British supermarkets as “mooli radish”, another member of the family. (The old name of this family, Cruciferae, refers to the features cross-shaped arrangement Of the petals.) Orychophragmus violaceus is native to China, and was apparently introduced to Japan in the Edo era (1650ish to 1850ish) as a decorative plant, but has already escaped to the wild. I find fragmentary references to eating it, but nothing Very concrete. I also found the name “Chinese Violet Cress” togeth Er with the Latin, which suggests it may be grown in the West as an wild herb of some sort. Generally, though, it seems doomed to be ignored.
