Abundant in many places throughout the county, in woods, 
dens, waysides, by streams, on the hills, &c. It occurs with 
white flowers in Glen Dole, Clova, Den of Glammis, and 
plentifully on the embankment of the Arbroath and Forfar 
railway, between Arbroath and Friockheim. 
On the Sidlaw Hills, and in the mountain valleys of Clova, 
it is peculiarly exuberant, and is known to the peasantry by 
the name of “ dead men’s bells,’ ’ probably on account of its 
poisonous qualities. It is much used in medicine as a seda- 
tive and diuretic.
