• Brassica rapa subsp pekinensis
• Brassicaceae
• ICN
• ICNCP

We organized the scientific names of Chinese cabbage according to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) and the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP). We found that the subspecies name 'Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis (Lour.) Rupr.' was suitable as the scientific name for Chinese cabbage, and we classified B. rapa var. glabra Regel. as its synonym. In addition, B. petsai Bailey is an 'unrecorded name' not found in the original description, and therefore is not suitable for use. We conclude that all names based on this name are 'invalid names', and should not be used.
