Corn salad (Valerianella locusta) is a small dicot annual plant of the family Valerianaceae. It is also called Lewiston cornsalad, fetticus, mache, mâche, doucette, rampon, rampien, lamb's lettuce, field salad, nüssli, nüsslisalat, and rapunzel.
Corn salad grows in a low rosette with spatulate leaves. In mild climates is used as a winter green, especially in salads. In warm and dry conditions it tends to bolt to seed.
