I removed the link to a Swedish page, because that is about a different species, H. sibiricum, also sometimes called the Cow Parsnip - but H. maximum seems to have first claim on that name. seglea 07:42, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I added the "Pushki" designation because while growing up in Alaska, that is what it was commonly called, although the Cow Parsnip designation was used as well. I believe "Pushki" comes from the Russian term for the plant. If you do a Google search for "Pushki" you will find several sources for this designation, such as <http://kenai.fws.gov/overview/notebook/2004/jun/11jun2004.htm> or <http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/51565.html///> Rabidwolfe 01:47, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
