I don't know why but TurkISH cabbage sounds like a foodstuff, while

LOL! That made me crack up-as did the suggestion of "Bob"
Not to be too picky, but I think I'd go with Turkish Cabbage

Pachyphragma macrophylla
Apparently it doesn't have one, so let's make one up.

Brassicaceae family. From the Greek pachys (thick) and phragma
(a partition) referring to the stout-ribbed septum of the pod.
macrophylla = large leaved

Rhizomatous perennial found in moist woods in Turkey. Large
glossy round leaves and white cress-like flowers in spring.
Semi-evergreen. Best in part shade and fertile, moist, leafy
soil. Ht: 8-16 inches, Spread: 24-36 inches Zones 5-9
Leaves are edible. No known medicinal uses.

suggestions?
