Abstract: Eighteen cultivars of Chinese flowering cabbages( Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. utillis Tsen et Lee were planted in a plastic green house in Haikou,Hainan Province,China with a complete randomized block design and 3 replications. Their phenophase and 9 botanical characters were observed and recorded,and their output and important nutritional qualities registered. The result showed that Bilyu 60-day Sweet Choi Sum and NZ-Pazhou 60-day Sweet Choi Sum in the glossy green leaf cultivars yielded higher than the control Yellowleaf Choi Sum 49-19,without significant difference in the protein,chlorophyll and soluble solids content but significant difference in vitamin C content against the control. In the yellowish green leaf cultivars Hainan Choi Sum 49 and Choi Sum 49-19 yielded lower than the control with lower soluble solids content and performed poorer.Guangfu Green Choi Sum and Qingchun Choi Sum in the dark green leaf cultivars yielded lower than the control with no significant difference but contained higher soluble solids and vitamin C. It is concluded that Bilyu 60-day Sweet Choi Sum and NZ-Pazhou 60-day Sweet Choi Sum in the glossy green leaf cultivars,Yellowleaf Choi Sum 49-19 in the yellowish green leaf cultivars,and Guangfu Green Choi Sum and Qingchun Choi Sum in the dark green leaf cultivars are suitable for growing in the greenhouse in summer and fall in Hainan.
