description: The acephala group refers to any type of <i>Brassica</i> which grows without the central 'head' typical of many varieties of cabbage. These are included within the species <i>Brassica oleracea</i>, such as Kale (<i>Brassica oleracea</i> var. acephala). The name literally means "without a head" in contrast to those varieties known as <i>capitata</i> or "with a head". This group includes a number of species, both wild and cultivated, many of which are grown for their edible leafs and flowers. (Wikipedia)
