#bear garlic
- Allium ursinum — The scientific name of a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Amaryllidaceae, commonly known as 'ramsons', 'wild garlic', or 'bear's garlic'. The plant grows spontaneously in shady deciduous forests across Europe and Asia, recognized by its lanceolate leaves resembling those of the lily of the valley, which emit a strong garlic odor when crushed; it is heavily harvested in spring for its exceptional culinary qualities and depurative properties.
