Check out the Seeds of Change website -- I got a packet from them in with
some donations of this stuff -- it appears to be a medicinal green.  I
haven't grown it yet -- it's an annual and my life was too busy to get it in
so quickly.

I don't think there is an English translation -- it doesn't seem to be
something commonly grown here.
