BEAR'S GARLIC. BUCKRAMS. GIPSY ONION. HOG'S GARLIC. RAMSONS. Europe and northern Asia. Gerarde[1], 1597, says the leaves were eaten in Holland. They were also valued formerly as a pot-herb in England, though very strong[2]. The bulbs were also used boiled and in salads[3]. In Kamchatka this plant is much prized. The Russians as well as the natives gather it for winter food[4].
