What is another word for false asphodel?
Pronunciation: [fˈɒls ɐsfˈə͡ʊdə͡l] (IPA) 
False asphodel, also known as "bastard asphodel," is a plant that has been commonly confused with the true asphodel species. This plant has many synonyms, which include king's spear, bog asphodel, heath death, Jacob's ladder, fake asphodel, and stiff-leaved bog onion. This confusion may arise from the similar appearance of the two plants, but the false asphodel is actually less valuable and lacks the medicinal properties of the true asphodel. It is commonly found in boggy areas and can be poisonous when consumed by livestock in large quantities. Despite its negative attributes, false asphodel is still a beautiful plant with its tall, slender stalks and beautiful yellow flowers.
