The CartAamus or Kusum is a very common green and is sown in fields to a considerable extent. It gives the flowers as a dye, the leaves as a pot-herb, and the seed for oil, without its growth being in any manner affSpcted ; so that it is a valuable plant. At Puraniya, I found a species of Brassica called Karim,... which is cultivated as a pot-herb, but seems little to deserve notice. I have not been able to trace it in such botanical works as I possess.
