WHITE VARIETY OF LIGULARIA?

No-
It is Garlic Mustard, Alliaria petiolata, a very damaging invasive plant. Even the deer won't eat it. But the Baltimore Checkerspot mistakes it for the only plant that it's larvae can eat. and lays eggs on it. So her babies starve, and we are rapidly loosing the Baltimore Checkerspot species.
