The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source.

Baneberry (Actaea spp.) is a genus of flowering plants native to Europe, Asia and North America.[3]
The berries are the most poisonous part of the plant, and they were used as potion ingredients in the making of the Baneberry Potion.[1] They were also used in the brewing of the Tonic for Trace Detection.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
- The picture of the Baneberry Potion depicts a Baneberry as a small branch with green leaves and clusters of both red and white berries. This is odd - varieties of Actaea may have red, black, or white berries, but two colours together is unusual.
- Baneberry, also known in England as Herb Christopher, was once believed to ward off plague,[4] insects, and vermin but attract toads.[5]
