== Description ==
Comfrey (''Symphytum officinale'' L.) is a perennial herb of the family Boraginaceae with a black, turnip-like root and large, hairy broad leaves that bears small bell-shaped flowers of various colours, typically cream or purplish, which may be striped. It is native to Europe, growing in damp, grassy places, and is locally frequent throughout Ireland and Britain on river banks and ditches. More common is the hybrid between ''S. officinale'' and ''S. asperum'', ''Symphytum'' × ''uplandicum'', known as Russian Comfrey, which is widespread in the British Isles, and which interbreeds with ''S. officinale''. Compared to ''S. officinale'', ''S.'' × ''uplandicum'' is generally more bristly and has flowers which tend to be more blue or violet.〔, p. 557〕
