Woody Nightshade is the most common of the Nightshade family.
It scrambles through hedges and shrubs, entwining the
branches.
The flowers are clusters of purple flowers, each with five
petals and a golden cone (anthers) in the centre of each. The
flowers are about 15 mm across.
The flowers are followed by glossy, oval berries which
start green, turning to yellow and red when ripe. The berries
are very poisonous.
This plant is also a source of a drug used for skin
diseases and chest problems. |
