What is another word for garlic mustard?
Pronunciation: [ɡˈɑːlɪk mˈʌstəd] (IPA) 
Garlic mustard, also known as Alliaria petiolata, is an invasive plant species that is native to Europe and Asia. This plant is sometimes referred to by different names, including hedge garlic, garlic root, jack-by-the-hedge, or poor-man's-mustard. These names describe the plant's characteristics, as it emits a strong garlic-like odor and was traditionally used for medicinal purposes. Other synonyms for garlic mustard include garlicwort, sauce-alone, and mustard plant. The plant has become a problem in North America, where it has rapidly spread and caused ecological damage to the forests and native species. Despite its negative impact, garlic mustard is still a popular seasoning herb in some parts of the world.
