Reference information:
Rod's suggestion may be a great solution depending on your context, but it may also be too broad, as it includes not only what most Japanese would think of when they hear the term, but other varieties as well. It's also the scientific name, which may or may not be appropriate for your context. View the following links for more information and decide what your text calls for.
