Hemlock

Hemlock is a flowering plant that grows to 5–8 ft tall, with a smooth, green, hollow stem, usually spotted or streaked with red or purple on the lower half of the stem. All parts of the plant are hairless; the leaves are two- to four-pinnate, finely divided and lacy, overall triangular in shape, up to 20 in. long and 16 in. broad.  Hemlock's flower is small and white; they are loosely clustered and each flower has five petals.  The plant looks like the wild carrot plant, one can distinguish the two from each other by hemlock's smooth texture, mid-green, quite vivid, color and typical height of large clumps being least 4 feet, twice the maximum of wild carrot. Carrots have hairy stems that lack the purple blotches.   Glantri uses Hemlock to poison condemned magic users.  This has led it to be known as Mage Leaf or wizardsbane.  It has no additional effects if given to a magic user.  It is easy to locate prepared tinctures in and around Glantri.
