The Acephala group of cultivars for the species Brassica oleracea includes:[1]
- kale, or borecole, or colewortCite error: A
<ref>tag is missing the closing</ref>(see the help page)., ornamental kale[2], flowering kale[3], flowering cabbage[4], or ornamental cabbage[5] - giant Jersey cabbage[6], long jack[7], walking-stick cabbage[8], cow cabbage[9], Jérriais lé grand chour à vaque [i.e., big cabbage for cows][10], Jérriais lé chour [i.e., cabbage][11], tree cabbage[12], or Jersey kale[13], or Brassica oleracea longata[14]
- Scotch kale[15]
The Acephala means "no head"[16] as the plants have leaves with no central head; the opposite arrangement of white cabbage, or Savoy cabbage.
Each cultivar has a different genome owing to mutation,[17] evolution, the ecological niche[18], and intentional plant-breeding by man.
