Henbane
(gcide) | Henbane \Hen"bane`\, n. [Hen + bane.] (Bot.)
A plant of the genus Hyoscyamus (Hyoscyamus niger). All
parts of the plant are poisonous, and the leaves are used for
the same purposes as belladonna. It is poisonous to domestic
fowls; whence the name. Called also, stinking nightshade,
from the fetid odor of the plant. See Hyoscyamus.
