Sacha,
I'm sure that was amongst some plants I sent you, have a look at this

Could well be, David! It's a very handsome plant, strong growing and - to
us - most unusual, though I gather it's a noxious weed in USA! Anyway,
thank you! The pfaf comments are extraordinary in their 'diversity', I must
say. On the one hand, handle with gloves, on the other, used medicinally
for years! I know that can be the case with plants but it seems rather
extreme with this one. Interesting that they're experimenting in using it
against snails. I wonder how.
