I agree. If you mean the vegetable that is used in salads it is:

Eruca

[ladyalex]

I think it is DIPLOTAXIS

For future reference ladyalex is seldom, if ever, wrong

Its a lettuce...........little or no food value as 'tis 90% water........not worth buying or eating, only good for cuisine decoration.

[ladyalex]

Thank you Strix.
(I am sometimes wrong, though, but for goodness sake don't tell Lordalex!)

Different "Rockets"

Diplotaxis tenuifolia seeds are sold as wild rocket, to grow as a salad leaf. This can lead to confusion with arugula (Eruca sativa).

Eruca sativa , also known as arugula or rocket, is an edible plant.
