− | + | {{w|Brassica oleracea}} is a plant species that has many vegetables we eat that look quite different, such as {{w|cabbage}}, {{w|broccoli}}, {{w|kale}} and {{w|Brussels sprouts}}.

In the caption, Randall jokes that for all we know, botanists have just been adding random plants to the list of B. oleracea cultivars, including an enormous tree. | |
