It is found in dry pastures across much of Europe and central and northern Asia mostly on lime. The genus name comes from Latin filum ("thread") and pendulus ("hanging") in reference to the root tubers that hang from the roots in some species. Specific epithet means common.{{clarify|date=August 2013}} The common English name "dropwort" comes from the tubers that hang like drops from the root. The crushed leaves and roots have a scent of the oil of wintergreen (methyl salicylate). GrowthIt has finely-cut, radical leaves, fern-like in appearance which form a basal rosette, and an erect stem {{Convert|20|-|50|cm|in|sigfig=1}} tall[2] bearing a loose terminal inflorescence of small creamy white flowers. The flowers appear in dense clusters from late spring to mid summer atop sparsely leafed stems about 30 cm tall. This plant prefers full sun to partial shade. It is more tolerant of dry conditions than most other members of its genus. It is a perennial of chalk and limestone downs and on heaths on other basic rocks. CultivationPropagation is by seed and the division of the creeping roots. The tuberous roots and young leaves can be cooked as a vegetable or eaten raw as a salad. The taste is bitter sweet. Mature leaves smell of oil of wintergreen when crushed, due to the release of methyl salicylate.[3] References1. ^{{citation|url=http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/rjp-3|title=The Plant List: A Working List of All Plant Species|accessdate=22 May 2016}} 2. ^C.
