Summary
Brassica species are annual, biennial, perennial rarely undershrubs, glaucous or sparsely hirsute. Rootstock slender or tuberous. Stem erect or ascending, simple or branched. Basal radical leaves in rosulate or not, oblong to oblanceolate, pinnatifid or pinnatisect, base amplexicaul, margin dentate or entire, glabrous or pubescent, apex obtuse, petiolate or sessile, cauline leaves sagittate or auriculate, base attenuate or cuneate, margin dentate or rarely entire, apex acute, petiole subsessile or sessile. Inflorescence raceme corymbs, axillary or terminal, many flowered, elongated in fruit, ebracteate. Flowers bisexual, yellow rarely white or pink, actinomorphic, pedicel slender, sepals 4, erect, oblong or ovate, glabrous or pubescent, basal pair saccate or not, petals 4, spathulate-obovate, margin entire, apex obtuse, almost twice long as than sepals, clawed, almost equal or slightly longer than sepals. Stamens 6, tetradynamous, filaments not dilated at the base, anthers oblong-ovate, nectar glands 4, lateral and median, ovary superior, bicarpellary, syncarpous, linear, ovules 4-48, style distinct, stigma capitate or bilobed. Fruit siliqua, dehiscent, linear oblong, erect or slightly curved, compressed, valves papery, prominent midveined, torulose or smooth, glabrous or rarely pubescent, style short or obsolete.

📚 Natural History
Reproduction
Brassica species flowers are complete, bisexual, i.e., with functional male (androecium) and female (gynoecium), including stamens, carpels and ovary. Pollination is entomophilous i.e., by insects, or cleistogamy i.e., by self or allogamy i.e., by cross pollination. Flowering/Fruiting: March--August.

Dispersal
Seeds may be dispersed by autochory i.e., self dispersal, anemochory i.e., wind dispersal, zoochory i.e., dispersal by birds or animals, anthropochory i.e., dispersal by humans.
