Edible Plants? Answers
How well did you do in sorting out the legal names of your favourite foods? Did you spot the ones you should leave alone? If not, we're not going to let you near the Plant Physiology lab. You might do yourself a mischief. If you weren't sure what all of these were, ask Willem. He's our resident plant expert. He could probably do this quiz when he was in short trousers.
We hope you don't decide to put those Amanita mushrooms on your pizza. And you should stay away from that Datura, too. Especially Brits. Back in the 17th Century, a group of British soldiers ate some in Jamestown, Virginia. They went on an eleven-day trip that amused the locals, but did nothing for British dignity. Since then, the nasty stuff has been known as 'Jamestown weed', or more commonly, 'jimson weed'. Do not eat.
