Notes

Originally Mediterranean region, extending in cultivation to Western Asia, Central Asia, China, Mongolia. Cultivated as a salad and oilseed plant. A distinction is generally made between the cultivated plant considered here (subsp. sativa) and its wild ancestor (subsp. vesicaria), but this has little botanical validity.
