about 2 ft. high. The leaves are covered with silky 
grey hairs. Wood Garlic would translate as ail de 
b a's, but the French have probably another name for 
it. The leaves are broad and flat while the flowers 
are white and produced in umbels, and all parts of 
the plant smell strongly. The Dead Nettle has 
yellow, white, or purple flowers according to the 
species, the upper lip being horded and the lower 
one three lobed. The whole plant is covered with 
coarse bristly hairs which are very troublesome 
when they penetrate the hands. The Belladonna 
has oval "leaves of some size, purple flowers and 
black berries which are very poisonous. The French 
name is Belladonne. We do not know the French 
names for the others.
