Cool, now I can see what you found.

Neat. I'd heard of some of the plants (Venus Flytraps, cactus) but not others. The Irish myths surrounding plants were new to me.
A long time ago, I found a book titled Dangerous Plants or Dangerous Vegetables. This was a collection of sci-fi and horror short-stories which presumed plants had better sensory organs and the brains to react to what they sense. I stole a bunch of ideas for my Gamma World background notes.
- Plant with "life leech field" can kill you through the walls, mysteriously.
- Very active holly plants, in thick enough density, try to scratch/rip passing animals to get extra nutrients
- Drink enough of a biochemical and it will infuse your body, turning you into a fungus-person. Drink not-enough and the transformation goes horrifyingly wrong...
