Noun

 * 2)  The usual Japanese cultivar, Japanese radish.
 * 3) Closely-related cultivars such as the enormous turnip-shaped Sakurajima or green-and-red watermelon radish.
 * 1) Closely-related cultivars such as the enormous turnip-shaped Sakurajima or green-and-red watermelon radish.

Usage notes
is the most common name in all forms of English, but historical ties to South Asia permit as a general synonym in British English. Other synonyms usually vary by region, so that is sometimes taken to refer specifically to the usual Japanese form; similarly, the term  may be used, with the regional variety implied by context. In addition, the plant is most often grown in North America for animal fodder or other uses rather than human consumption, producing a third set of synonyms that are almost never encountered in culinary contexts.
