Betony
a genus of plants belonging to the order laminacea (labiates). Betonica officinalis, or wood betony, grows in shady places. It is called by Bentham and others stachys betonica.
When fresh it has an intoxicating effect; the dried leaves excite sneezing. The roots are bitter and very nauseous, and the plant is used to dye wool a fine, dark yellow.
