The one I saw is "<I>Heracleum mantegazzianum</I>". Giant Hogweed or Giant's Cow-Parsley. Although the three plants (giant cow parsley, conium and cow-parsley) look very similar, they all have different genus. Surprising...<BR/><BR/>And I have managed to find the turkish name finally for giant cow parsley: "<B>Büyük Tavşanotu</B>" meaning "<B>Big Rabbitweed</B>". Needless to say, cow's parsley is known as "rabbitweed".<BR/><BR/>The turkish name for '(poison) Hemlock' or Conium, on the other hand, is '(poisonous) Baldıran', not similar to persian version.<BR/><BR/>One interesting note for you: the dutch version is also known as "Perzische berenklauw" : persian bearpaw.<BR/><BR/>I have seen this giant cow parsley yesterday evening in the green area where panamalaan and zeeburgerdijk crosses. It is so poisonous, yet it is even in the city. Many countries (denmark, england popped up in my googlings) develop active fight against this plant. Yet, dutch authorities seem to not to have such a policy.tunahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01788783775838183748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765828911606444835.post-51746722527463395172008-06-10T22:45:00.000+02:002008-06-10T22:45:00.000+02:00one more thing: the more common English name for C...one more thing: the more common English name for Conium is poison hemlockSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07378205380691295665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765828911606444835.post-30673925032799955952008-06-10T22:40:00.000+02:002008-06-10T22:40:00.000+02:00I was reading a Persian blog a few days ago,and th...I was reading a <A HREF="http://manib.blogfa.com/post-400.aspx" REL="nofollow">Persian blog</A> a few days ago,<BR/>and the guy was talking about how h was having a walk with a friend and his friend showed him these plants that were poisonous, ...!<BR/>The interesting thing was that his friend said that they call the plant "philosopher's poison" in their native city, and he had googled it and figured out that it is actually the plant that Socrates had used its poison to kill himself with. Cool, huh! (we call it "Shokaraan" in Persian, maybe it would be somewhat similar to the Turkish name...)<BR/>Anyway it seems that its a bit different from the one you have seen it is called Conium http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conium, the one you meant is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Hogweed<BR/>(the Dutch name matches :D ),<BR/>but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_parsley<BR/>seems to be something different that looks the same but is not poisonous. <BR/>Now I'm an expert!
