Ransoms, also known as 'Wild Garlic', is not common in Hainault Forest. It has a preference for shaded damp places. Flowers on long narrow stalks form in clusters on top of triangular stems. The star-like flowers have six long narrow petals that taper to a point and six stamens bearing white anthers and white pollen. In the middle is a green three-lobed ovary.
