It is known for its leaves arranged in regular cross pairs and its legendary reputation as a mole-repelling plant – hence the English names “mole plant” and “gopher plant.” Warning: the entire plant is poisonous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:13pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eHabit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eAn erect biennial growing to about 1–1.5 m, with a straight, blue-green stem and lance-shaped, waxy leaves arranged in crossing pairs, with a light stripe on the vein.

The seeds have been mistaken for capers – they must never be consumed. Wear gloves when handling.
