A plant 1-2 feet high found throughout England and Wales, but rare in Scotland and Ireland. Also know as weasel-snout, it flowers from April to June. 'Galeobdolon' derives from two Greek works meaning weasel and stench - probably a reference to the unpleasant smell produced when the stems or leaves are rubbed between the fingers.
