Does anyone know the scientific name for European Bison Weed, a
grass used in Poland and possibly the Ukraine as a flavoring in
vodka and in cooking ? The Polish name for this plant is
"zubrowka". I've already checked out most plant and
ethnobotanical databases on the web, with no luck. 

To save space on the web, please send email to me at:

Thanks!

Thanks to all who have responded  to my question re: European
Bison Weed a.k.a. zubrovka. A number of people have supplied the
name Hierochloe Odorata, which, I have found, is known as
'sweetgrass' in N. America. Again, thanks to all!
