Nightshade, a group of poisonous plants that have intrigued and fascinated botanists for centuries. Atropa Belladonna, also known as deadly nightshade, is one such plant that holds a dark allure. Picture No. 10752424 captures the essence of this enigmatic plant. In nature's intricate web, insects dance around these deadly beauties. Butterflies and moths flutter near the purple flowered deadly nightshade, Atropa belladonna. But beware. For alongside it lurks its treacherous cousin - black nightshade with its white flowers and black berries. EyeUbiquitous_20104522 showcases the danger hidden within these seemingly innocent plants. Poisonous to both humans and animals, they pose a threat to unsuspecting passersby. But it doesn't end there; other members of the nightshade family join in on this toxic symphony. Solanum nigrum or common nightshade stands tall with its poisonous fruits at the top left corner of the picture. And let us not forget Woody Nightshade or Bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara), perched ominously at the top right. Page 172 reveals another facet of this intriguing family - Physalis edulis from c. 1803-06 depicted in watercolor, pen, ink, and pencil form adds an artistic touch to our understanding of these harmful plants. Plants harmful to agriculture are also represented here in vibrant color litho format - a stark reminder that even though they may be visually appealing, their impact on crops can be devastating. Nightshades hold an undeniable allure but should always be approached with caution due to their potent toxins lurking beneath their alluring exteriors.
