usage noTe: Herbaceous plants have stems and leaves that die down to the ground in the fall. They may be annuals (living only one season), perennials (returning each spring for an in-definite number of seasons), or biennials (living for two seasons, in which the plant remains low and leafy in the first season and becomes taller and flowering in the second season).

usage noTe: The distinction between an annual plant and a perennial plant is sometimes a matter of geography; some plants are considered perennials in warm climates but are grown as annuals in cold climates since they are unlikely to survive the winter.

usage noTe: The plants listed above are considered poisonous for a variety of reasons.

Some are poisonous only in part; for example, in some plants, only the bulb, flower, or fruit is dangerous. Some species are dangerous only at certain times in their growth cycle.

A distinction should also be made between plants that are poisonous and those that are toxic.

Poisonous plants cause illness or death through ingestion. Toxic plants are those that cause a rash or other reaction through touch. When including any of these plants in a fictional setting, research is required to describe their effects properly.

usage noTe: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So are weeds. One gardener’s weed is another gardener’s treasure. A lawn might look pretty in the spring sprinkled with bright yellow dandelions, but to a golf course groundskeeper, a dandelion is an intruder. The list above includes plants that are frequently regarded as weeds—but they might not be weeds to everyone. Even useful plants can be considered weeds in the wrong setting—in the Midwest, for example, war is being waged against garlic mustard, an edible salad green that has become an invasive species and crowds out native plants. Climate also drives the determination of a weed; in cold climates, certain plants are kept in check, but in warmer zones, those same plants might grow uncon-trolled. When referencing weeds, consider the climate and placement of these plants.
