+The '''ground-elder''' (''Aegopodium podagraria'') is a perennial plant in the carrot family ([[Apiaceae]]) that grows in shady places. Its name is also sometimes spelled "ground elder", though this format invites confusion with [[Elderberry|elder]] (''Sambucus''), a very distantly related genus with visually similar leaves. Ground-elder is also known as '''herb gerard''', '''bishop's weed''', '''goutweed''', and '''snow-in-the-mountain'''. It is the [[type species]] of the genus ''[[Aegopodium]]''.
-| name = Aegopodium podagraria
-| common_names = Bishop's weed, Gout weed
+The tender [[Leaf|leaves]] have been used as a spring [[leaf vegetable]], much as [[spinach]] was used. It is best picked from when it appears (as early as February in the UK) to just before it flowers (May to June). If it is picked after this point it takes on an unusual taste and a laxative effect. However it can be stopped from flowering by pinching out the flowers, ensuring that the plant remains edible if used more sparingly as a pot herb.<ref>{{cite web

+In some areas, this plant is considered among the worst of weeds, as it readily spreads over large areas of ground by underground [[rhizome]]s.  It is extremely invasive, and crowds out native species.  The smallest piece of rhizome left in the ground will quickly form a sturdy new plant, followed by many more.
