Cynoglossum Nigrum

Cynoglossum nigrum is a striking plant known for its dark purple flowers and velvety leaves. Native to Europe and parts of Asia, it thrives in moist, shady environments. Often called "Black Nightshade," it has a long history of use in traditional medicine. Despite its beauty, it contains toxic compounds and should be handled with care. This plant remains a fascinating subject for botanists and gardeners alike.
