- The furze is a harmful weed because when it blooms the seed blows faro and wide and it causes more furze plants to spring up. They generally grow on a hill top.
- The Hemlock weed grows in Ireland; luckily enough it is seldom seen because it is deadly poison. It grows among the grass and animals are often poisoned by it, there is also a hemlock tree that grows in America. Before killing you the hemlock weed paralyses you.
