Apparently, leaf-beets and swiss chard are the same botanical name, and
appear to be the same plant....

"They did the job they _didn't_ have to do, and they died doing it, and
you can't give them anything. Do you understand? They fought for those
who'd been abandoned, they fought for one another, and they were betrayed.
Men like them always are. What good would a statue be? It'd just inspire
new fools to believe they're going to be heroes. They wouldn't want that.
Just let them be. _Forever._"-- Terry Pratchett, _Night Watch_.
