: yes, I think I agree, as they're often cooked greens rather than uncooked/salad ones

wild salad greens
This is what I've always known these to be after about 30 years of eating them here in Italy. Some call them "wild herbs" however this is not always the case. Sometimes they are used in salad, or cooked, or cleaned and used in sauce as in nettles. If the context is salad, then this answer is good, if it is other types of greens you may want to change the modifier i.e., wild greens, wild herbs, field greens, etc.

: Spontaneously, I would have said "wild herbs" but I never lived in Italy and of course it depends on the dish ...

: sorry, they are not always or often for salad. I guess this refers to many funny unknown species that are usually boiled and then "sauteed" in a pan with perhaps garlic and red pepper (mesticanza, ortica, various types of wild broccoli. Sounds right?

: Shabelula does have a point. Depending on the context, Maria's "field greens" may be better.

edible wild plants
There is a whole movement of people foraging for these : https://www.google.co.uk/#q=edible wild plants
People have long collected wild plants and prepared them for the table in Italy. The plants/leaves are trimmed, washed then either boiled or sautéed, and usually dressed with olive oil and lemon juice for instance.
