A search for "Brassica longifolia" brings up longifoliae > in several genera, so I don't know what you're talking about. You're right (pardon my ignorance of taxonomy). I was trying to say "Romaine lettuce", which is Lactuca sativa variety longifolia. So how do you say specifically *romaine* lettuce, since Lactuca sativa is the species which includes most kinds of lettuce, and longifolia is a species or variety of several different genera? Maybe 'clapezli kobrlaktuka'? To coordinate all these lojban names of plants and animals, we're going to have to use the taxonomy page. I'll change what I added there as soon as we agree on how to say "romaine lettuce". mu'o mi'e .adam.
