Over
time, many different types of plants across the world have been referred to by
the common name "wild celery." Most of these plants, although not all
of them, belong to the same family (Apiaceae/Umbellerifereae)
as the Pascal celery found in United States markets. You'll find Australian
celery, Vietnamese celery, Indian celery, Maori celery, and water celery all
being referred to as "wild celery" in various cultures.
