Wild plant Hyoscyamus niger, found on waste
ground through most of Europe and W Asia. A
branching plant, up to 80 cm/2.6 ft high, it
has hairy leaves and a nauseous smell. The
yellow flowers are bell-shaped. Henbane is
poisonous. It is sometimes grown for
medicinal purposes, but its use is dangerous.
