凱爾蓋朗甘藍 (Pringlea antiscorbutica)是十字花科的顯花植物,與甘藍菜有親屬關係,其外形也與之相似。它生長在、克羅澤群島、愛德華王子群島和凱爾蓋朗群島。這些島嶼位於南緯50度,四時受強風吹襲,因此靠昆蟲授粉變成不可能,而取的方法繁殖。成熟時呈現各種適應寒冷氣候的特徵,包括含有大量、潛在適應力和聚胺反應。 本種的俗名來自發現本種的地方—凱爾蓋朗島。屬名紀念在1776年發現時英國皇家學會主席爵士,發現者是詹姆士·曲克的醫師威廉·安德森。 本種可食,不但含豐富鉀,其葉更有一種富有維生素丙的油,為昔日航海的人而言非常重要。因此其種名在拉丁語就是「預防壞血病」的意思。 Calycopteryx mosleyi,一種屬於的昆蟲與之有共生關係。由於外來的兔子以此植物為生,兩種生物都有滅絕的危險。
