#Bearsgarlic or #Arum?
Very young arum leaves lack the typical spots and barbs at the base of the stem, which is why they are sometimes confused with wild garlic. But they're easily to distinguish: Arum show an irregular veining! #Wildgarlic has parallel leaf veins.

#Bearsgarlic or #Autumncrocus?
Tha latter grow without a stem from a rosette in the ground and also often enclose a large, green fruit capsule. Unlike #wildgarlic leaves, they are almost stiff and shiny on both sides - the underside of bear's garlic leaves is rather dull.
