Of California's total plant population, 2,153 species, subspecies, and varieties are endemic and native to California alone, according to the 1993 Jepson Manual study. [4] This botanical diversity stems not only from the size of the state, but also its diverse topographies , climates, and soils (e.g. serpentine outcrops ).
Gai lan, kai-lan, Chinese broccoli, [1] or Chinese kale (Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra) [2] is a leafy vegetable with thick, flat, glossy blue-green leaves with thick stems, and florets similar to (but much smaller than) broccoli.

California is known to be free of Bactrocera tau (Walker). [300] California red scale (Aonidiella aurantii) is an invasive pest here. [301] It competitively displaced a prior invader Yellow scale . [301] Debach et al., 1978 finds that A. citrina is now extinct in this state due to the invasion of A. aurantii. [301]
Luther Burbank (March 7, 1849 – April 11, 1926), [1] an American botanist, horticulturist, and pioneer in agricultural science, developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his 55-year career. Burbank worked with (for example) fruits, flowers, grains, grasses, and vegetables.
The plant is quite variable in appearance across subspecies and climates. The leaves are hairy, somewhat linear in shape, and about 1–7 cm ( 3 ⁄ 8 – 2 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) long. [ 1 ] Individuals growing along the coast may have fleshy leaves.
The plants often grow together in crowded colonies and spread by runners at or just under the soil surface. In late summer the plants produce tubers that are twice as long as wide, [9] each typically measuring 0.5 to 5 cm (1 ⁄ 4 to 2 in) in diameter. [8] The plant produces rosettes of leaves and an inflorescence on a long rigid scape.
