European or Asian mandrake, not American mandrake or may apple. mandragora is a datura.... lots of legend and mystery. Plant is narcotic toxin.... henbane, but stronger and more toxic. Nasty stuff. Legend says it would scream when pulled from the ground and kill the person who dug it up... and that the root is a little living human type creature that will make a person crazy through terror...! So, we are talking about a seriously hallucinogenic, poisonous plant.
