You are thinking of creasy greens.  Ramps are like wild garlic.  At least, 
those are the North Carolina mountain definitions I learned when we moved to 
Winston-Salem in 1978.  But these things vary,  Daffodils are commonly 
called buttercups in central NC where I currently live.

I'm not sure where this plant is in the scheme of things Appalachian.
