Garth, John (2003). Tolkien and the Great War: The Threshold of Middle-earth. HarperCollins. pp.238–239. ISBN978-0-00711-953-0. The flowers, Anthriscus sylvestris, are what books might call cow parsley ... among many other names; but Tolkien referred to all such white-flowered umbellifers (and not just the highly poisonous Conium maculatum) by the usual rural name of hemlock. [In a footnote, Garth adds that Christopher Tolkien noted that his father objected to the habit of limiting vernacular names to "this or that species" as the "pedantry of popularizing botanists".]
