Wild garlic (Allium vineale)
Wild garlic, also known as Wild Garlic, Wild Onion
Allium vineale, also known as wild garlic or crow garlic, is generally not accepted as a substitute for common garlic due to its strong, pungent flavor and unpleasant aftertaste. Furthermore, it is considered invasive and can contaminate crops with its garlic-like taste. Its resistance to many herbicides also makes it problematic in agricultural settings.
