Galeopsis tetrahit

Common Hemp-nettle

Galeopsis tetrahit (Common Hemp-nettle) is a flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, native to Europe and northwestern Asia.
It is a herbaceous annual plant growing to 1 m tall; it is a pioneer species and thrives on disturbed sites or roadsides. The plant looks like mint but is taller. The stems have reflexed hairs and swollen nodes. In cross section, the stem is square. The leaves are rhombic to elliptic, with coarsely to bluntly serrate edges. The flowers are purple, diminutive, bilateral and snapdragon-like

The plant is poisonous, causing paralysis

Dogbane, common name for a group of plants and for the family to which the group belongs. Two species, spreading dogbane and Indian hemp, are widely distributed in the United States and Canada on poor soils of waste areas, roadsides, and gravel banks. Both species are perennial herbs and somewhat woody; the former is more branched and spreading than the latter. They have opposite leaves, copious milky juice, and pencil-like pods hanging in clusters. The pods are filled at maturity with a cottony mass of milkweed-like flock and seeds. Indian hemp was used by Native Americans as a source of fibre for making rope. Vegetation of both species contains a number of glycosides, which make them toxic when eaten. Other members of the family include periwinkle and oleander.
