What is another word for wild celery?
Pronunciation: [wˈa͡ɪld sˈɛləɹi] (IPA) 
Wild celery is a common name for a type of aquatic plant from the Apiaceae family, also known as water celery or American water-hemlock. Despite its resemblance to the edible celery that we know, this wild relative is highly toxic and lethal when consumed. The plant goes by several synonyms such as Cicuta maculata, spotted cowbane, and musquash root. Its roots have been used for medicinal purposes, but caution is advised due to the plant's toxicity. It can be found in marshes, swamps, and slow-moving bodies of water throughout North America, and is a crucial component of wetland ecosystems.
