google books:"gailan" does not quickly find anything that looks like a vegetable. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:37, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

This is clearly well attested. For example: http://books.google.com/books?id=pclAND3aHqQC&pg=PA52&dq=%22gailan%22+chinese&hl=en&sa=X&ei=5odQT-G4IKqjiAfIlYnMCw&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22gailan%22%20chinese&f=false

I'm really only satisfied with the 1997 and 1998 quotations (the rest are in italics, which we discourage, because it suggests a foreign word, not an English word, is being used), but I've just added one more, and more can be found by a search for gailan + broccoli, so I say this passes. - -sche (discuss) 01:06, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
