Growing Corn Salad, also Lamb's lettuce or Mache

Wikipedia calls cornsalad Valerianella locusta, but the plants I bought in Bunnings are labelled Cornsalad Beta vulgaris. The description says it's a chard. The plants sure look the same and describe the same in other details. So what are we talking about and who's right ? :-)

Beta vulgaris is silver beet, not corn salad.
