Description:
Brassica sect. Brassica comprises the taxa with the C genome of x=9; only the wild taxa are included in this treatment. This revision is based on cultivation and crossing experiments combined with more traditional techniques. A key, descriptions, illustrations and maps are provided for the following accepted taxa: B. cretica subsp. cretica, B. cretica subsp. aegaea, B. cretica subsp. laconica, B. insularis, B. hilarionis, B. rupestris, B. villosa, B. incana, B. macrocarpa, B. montana, B. oleracea subsp. oleracea, B. bourgeaui. The combination B. cretica subsp. aegaea is newly formed. Lists of synonyms are given, typifications described and some lectotypes selected. The patterns of variation in morphological characters are described and illustrated with examples from the Aegean area, Sicily and Corsica. Population biology, dispersal and ecological preferences are discussed. Lists of all wild populations studied are provided, with reports on present status and conditions of threat where information was available.
