What is another word for cow parsnip?
Pronunciation: [kˈa͡ʊ pˈɑːsnɪp] (IPA) 
Cow parsnip is a common name for a plant species, Heracleum maximum, which belongs to the carrot family. This plant is also known by several other names, including Indian celery, pushki, and giant hogweed. The name cow parsnip is derived from the fact that it holds great significance as a forage plant for livestock, particularly cows. The term Indian celery is borrowed from the plant's edible young stems and leaves, which were traditionally used as a culinary seasoning by Native Americans. Pushki is a Russian term for this plant, and it is commonly used in northern regions of Europe. Giant hogweed, on the other hand, is a term used for the plant's considerable size and resemblance to hogweed.
