Now I'm totally confused. Says Broc Raab is from the turnip family (Brassicaceae) on all the info I'm reading and Brocolini is not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassicaceae

"The family contains over 330 genera and about 3,700 species, according to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The largest genera are Draba (365 species), Cardamine (200 species, but its definition is controversial), Erysimum (225 species), Lepidium (230 species), and Alyssum (195 species).

The family contains well-known species such as Brassica oleracea (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.), Brassica rapa (turnip, Chinese cabbage, etc.), Brassica napus (rapeseed, etc.), Raphanus sativus (common radish), Armoracia rusticana (horseradish), Matthiola (stock), Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) (model organism) and many others."


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapini
"Rapini (commonly marketed in English as broccoli raab or rabe /rɑːb/) is a green cruciferous vegetable. The edible parts are the leaves, buds, and stems. The buds somewhat resemble broccoli, but do not form a large head. It is known for its slightly bitter taste, and is particularly associated with Italian, Galician, and Portuguese cuisines. Within Italian cuisine, the plant is heavily associated with Southern Italian cuisine (especially Neapolitan cuisine and the cuisines of Campania and Puglia) and Roman cuisine." "Rapini is classified scientifically as Brassica rapa subspecies rapa"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broccoli
"Broccoli is classified in the Italica cultivar group of the species Brassica oleracea".
Hooka, I suspect you are confusing Species with Family. As you can see, they are the same Genus. Back when I was in college the Family was Cruciferaceae, it was re-named Brassicaseae 25+ yrs ago. Taxonomists are a contentious group

MENDOCINO COUNTY (KPIX 5) — There’s been some mysterious activity in the skies over Mendocino County lately. Folks who live there want to know: Who are the armed men dropping out of helicopters to chop down their marijuana grows?

They dress in combat camouflage, some of them hide their faces. This summer, a group of men in Mendocino County loaded into helicopters and flew missions to eradicate marijuana. They’re not police officers. They work for a security company called Lear Asset Management. continued.........
