[[Mandragora autumnalis]], known as [[mandrake]] or [[autumn mandrake]], is recognized by some sources as a separate species from [[Mandragora officinarum]], although with different circumscriptions. Others regard it as merely part of this very variable species. Plants given the name Mandragora autumnalis consist of a rosette of leaves up to 60 cm (2 ft) across, close to the ground, with a central group of usually purplish flowers followed by yellow or orange berries. The large tap-roots as well as the leaves contain alkaloids and are toxic. They have traditional uses as herbal medicines. | [[Mandragora autumnalis]], known as [[mandrake]] or [[autumn mandrake]], is recognized by some sources as a separate species from [[Mandragora officinarum]], although with different circumscriptions.
