Raphanus (Latin for "radish" [3]) is a genus within the flowering plant family Brassicaceae. Carl Linnaeus described three species within the genus: the cultivated radish ( Raphanus sativus ), the wild radish or jointed charlock ( Raphanus raphanistrum ), and the rat-tail radish ( Raphanus caudatus ).
The radish (Raphanus sativus) is a flowering plant in the mustard family, Brassicaceae. Its large taproot is commonly used as a root vegetable, although the entire plant is edible and its leaves are sometimes used as a leaf vegetable. Originally domesticated in Asia, radishes are now grown and consumed globally.
