smallage

The wild form of celery is known as "smallage".

The name "Marchwood" is most probably from the Old English "merecewudu" meaning "smallage wood" ("smallage" is a term for wild celery).

Often confused with wild celery, or smallage (which is a different plant), lovage was made into a cure-all cordial during the Middle Ages, sipped as a remedy for everything from indigestion to lovesickness.
