Cassie Stark, who spearheaded the study as a master’s degree student, studied four populations each of Allium tricoccum and Allium burdickii in southwestern Pennsylvania, and compared and contrasted the habitats where they were found. She is shown in a population of Allium burdickii — commonly known as narrow-leaved wild leek
This large patch of Allium tricoccum is populated by the broader-leafed ramps that are common across Pennsylvania. They have been collected and eaten for thousands of years, starting with Native Americans.
