"The herbal Ferulas are most difficult to obtain viable seed of and then get

Southwest grow it.  Ferula communis and another species can become real
thugs.  I dont recall the latter's specific name, just that it can get 6 - 8
feet tall, and that the furanocoumarins are potent sensitizers for dermal
problems.  The specific name sounded Armenian, began with "h", and was
polysyllabic."

Thanks for the info Richard. Guess caution is in order so one gets the correct
species...
