Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Hyoscyamus niger, Linn. Annual or biennial, 1-2 ½ ft. high: lvs. 3-7 in. long, the upper ones st.-clasping, irregularly lobed or pinnatifid: fls. greenish yellow, with purple veins, short-pedicelled or sessile, in leafy 1-sided spikes: caps, inclosed in the enlarging calyx.—The plant is said to be poisonous to domestic fowls but not to swine, although it is supposed the generic name has reference to harmful qualities to the latter animals. The lvs. and flowering tops are medicinal. The plant has no horticultural value. June-Sept. L. H. B.
