“西蘭花” the name of use that it’s from a western culture.
青花菜 It’s a local name from Fujian.
They say xilanhua in both northern and southern China, though maybe not 100% of the time.
I usually hear “美國花菜”
That makes no sense. We have cauliflower in America too.
As is so often the case, with vegetables common sense just goes out the window.
