[Sca-cooks] Arugula/Rocket/Eruca?

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

Eruca sativa and eruca alba turn out to be very different.

In America, we tend to call rocket arugula (probably to better sell it in  
upscale Italian restaurants).

Villanova just (very unhelpfully) says "eruca".

Are  Arugula, Rocket and Eruca the same plant?
