Atropa belladonna, commonly known as belladonna or deadly nightshade, is a poisonous perennial plant in the nightshade family. 

The foliage and berries are extremely toxic when ingested. Atropa belladonna has unpredictable effects. 

Plants grow to 2m (6'8") tall with ovate leaves 18cm (7") long. The bell-shaped flowers are pink/purple with green tinges and faintly scented. The fruits are berries, which are green, ripening to a shiny-black, and approximately 1.5cm (0.6") in diameter. The berries are consumed by animals that disperse the seeds in their droppings, even though they contain toxic alkaloids.
