SYNONYMS : Belladonna, Devils Cherries, Divale, Devils Herb, Great Morel, Dwayberry

The plant in ancient Chaucer days was known as Dwale, which Dr. J.A.H. Murray considers was probably derived from the scandanavian
Dool, meaning delay or sleep.
Other authorities have derived the word from the French
Devil (Grief), a reference to it's fatal properties, also known as a way to do away with people in Shakespearian Times.
