| | Broccoli -- Brassica oleracea L. (Italica group) |
 | | Broccoli is closely related to cauliflower since both are grown for the clusters of unopened flower buds and tender flower stalks. |  | | One is " sprouting broccoli," which makes a somewhat branching cluster of green flower buds atop a thick, green flower stalk, and smaller clusters that arise like "sprouts" from the stems. |  | | In Florida, broccoli is probably grown to a slightly greater extent than in other areas of the country, comparing favorably with beets and garden peas in frequency of production. |
