Brassica cretica is a species of flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae, native to the Eastern Mediterranean, [2] particularly to Greece and the Aegean Islands. [3] It was first described by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in 1785. [1] A 2021 study suggested that it was the origin of cultivated Brassica oleracea, with later admixture from other Brassica species. [3]
As of December 2022 [update], Plants of the World Online recognized three subspecies: [2]
Other sources have recognized only two subspecies, subsp. cretica and subsp. nivea (Boiss. & Spruner) M.A.Gust. & Snogerup. Some populations identified as B. cretica appear to be escapes from cultivation. [3]
