Neshrua,

I swear I saw it again when I was shopping for cover crop seed the other 
month which is why it popped into my head.  Its going to drive me nuts, 
but I checked my usual sellers and didn't find it again... My 
rememberance of typhon  (and it's been over a decade) has merged with 
all other wildish mustards; much better grown cold and sweetening after 
frost, quick to bolt under stress and heat.  Both Territorial Seed Co. 
and Abundant Life Seed used to carry it but apparently neither does any 
more.  If I find it again I'll pass it on... sorry :(

Abundant life still carries 'corn salad' - a winter hardy dutch bitter 
green that I have broadcast sown in September and I have visited folks 
that broadcast raddiccio with some success.
