Bunium Trichophyllum

Wild garlic, scientifically known as Bunium trichophyllum, is a lesser-known but fascinating plant native to parts of Europe and Asia. It is often mistaken for its more famous relative, the common garlic, due to its pungent aroma and similar appearance. This herbaceous plant thrives in moist, shaded environments and is commonly found in woodland areas and along stream banks. Its bulbous stems and small white flowers make it a unique addition to the flora of its habitat. Despite its subtle presence, wild garlic holds cultural and culinary significance in various regions.
