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.
