It isn't Butterbur, I have always called it wild rhubarb, it is miles bigger and grows in streams and rivers. I don't think it is even related to Rhubarb and I don't expect it is edible, but it ain't Butterbur. |

ooh - am confused now. Thought Bog/wild Rhubarb (and Pestilence-wort?) were other names for butterbur? |
