such as clearings, especially those of conifer forests, and along mountain
rivers and streams.

Use
Its leaves can be used to prepare salads and its shoots, which
have a bitter flavour, can be boiled and served like asparagus. Leaves
and stems give products for the cure of mouth aphtha. It is possible
to find it all over the Apennines. |
