I noticed that there's something called "giant hogsweed" at the top of the Class A list. That's a great name, so I googled it, and wow. Giant hogsweed looks like Queen Anne's lace (a lovely white wildflower that's all over London), but it's substantially larger. And I mean like. Substantially. If you're into botanical horror, this is a fun one.
