	~~Describe~~ the plant ~~here~~...		'''''Symphytum tuberosum''''', the '''Tuberous Comfrey''' or in Gaelic '''Meacan Dubh Cnapach''', is a species of ''[[Symphytum]]'' in the [[Boraginaceae]] family.

			Tuberous Comfrey flowers from April to June, however it also reproduces asexually, that is vegetatively, having [[rhizome]]s that allow it to spread out from the original site, colonising and competing as it grows. This process continues into the autumn and the young clonal plants can be seen at this time of year, whilst the parent plants leaves are rotting down. Being very hardy, this plant is well able to survive northern winters.
			<ref name="The Flora of Skye">[http://www.plant-identification.co.uk/skye/boraginaceae/symphytum-tuberosum.htm The Flora of Skye]</ref> Both the stems and leaves are softly hairy, the leaves have deep veining.
			<ref name="Medicinal uses">[http://www.paghat.com/borage.html Medicinal uses]</ref>

			The flowers themselves are a subtle pale creamy yellow, a significant characteristic for separating its identity from the purple flowered Russian Comfrey. The usual pollinators are the common carder bumble bee, honey bee, and red mason bee. The stem and leaves are clothed with soft hairs. The stem usually remains unbranched and the leaves are distinctly veined with a clear reduction in size from top to base.
