Garlic Mustard

Description:

Tiny white flowers

Habitat:

Along Appalachian Trail on Lewis Mountain.

Notes:

Garlic mustard was first recorded in the United States around 1868, from Long Island, New York, and was likely introduced by European settlers for food and medicinal purposes. Garlic mustard has been reported to be invasive in natural areas throughout the northeastern U.S. and in scattered localities in the Midwest, Southeast, western states, and Alaska. White-tailed deer assist in its spread. (Source: https://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/pubs/mi...)
