Notes:2-4. Note the plural forms. 7. Unattested. 10. Actually a different subspecies, but near enough that rapini is sold under this name in Chinese markets.

I've had a bit of a bad conscience about the rapini I sowed in my neighbour's plot back when I thought it would soon be mine, but that was put to rest with this e-mail:
you can keep the rapini in my plot as long as i get to harvest from it. i just realized that it's either the same or really similar to broccoli rabé and i really like broccoli rabé.
It is flourishing quite nicely; yesterday we got our first blooms. Normally with greens, that's the point at which I would sigh and rip it all up for the compost, but it seems rapini doesn't go all bitter when it flowers. At least I guess we'll all find out.

Rapunzel rapunzel! Perhaps the rapini is why you have such lovely hair. I like it sauted in garlic with pine nuts. Of course, sauteing in garlic with pine nuts would probably make a hubcap tasty. Gwyn
