Black henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) Seeds

Antiquity embraced this poisonous herbaceous plant with the sticky hairy leaves and unpleasant smell for reasons of divine worship. In Medieval times henbane won recognition for its part in the concoction of flying potion and as an intoxicating additive to beer. Ethnologist speculate that the name Pilsner beer derives from the German word for henbane, Bilsenkraut. Its oil has also proved to be an effective narcotic often administered before operations.
