ATTENTION LANDOWNERS!!!!!
This plant has been been identified in two different locations in Southern Johnson County. Please be careful handling it and contact the PRCD or Johnson County Weed & Pest if you think that you may have it on your property. It can be mechanically and chemically controlled.
Black henbane is a member of the nightshade family and a native of the Mediterranean. It was introduced as an ornamental and medicinal plant in the 17th century. It can reach heights of up to 3 feet. It spreads by seed and flowers from May to September. The entire plant is covered with greasy hairs.
Black henbane has become a common weed of pastures, fence rows, roadsides, and waste areas. It produces a persistent litter that effects the germination and growth of native species. It also creates shade that will help black henbane out compete native species for light.
All plant parts of black henbane are considered highly toxic because of alkaloids hyoscymine and scopolamine, and can be fatal if eaten. It is poisonous to all livestock and humans, even at low doses. Symptoms of poisoning include: Salivation, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rapid pulse, convulsions, and coma. It can cause skin irritation if it is touched with bare skin.
