Apium graveolens

Species of plant

Apium graveolens, known in English as wild celery is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae. It has a broad native distribution from Macaronesia and Ireland in the west, through Europe north to Scotland, Denmark and Poland, and east as far as the western Himalayas; and also through North Africa to the Arabian Peninsula. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. The species was later used as a vegetable, particularly in Italy; modern cultivars have been selected for their leaf stalks (celery), a large bulb-like hypocotyl (celeriac), or their leaves.
