The European scopolia (Scopolia carniolica), also known as the henbane bell, is a highly poisonous plant belonging to the Solanaceae family. It is an attractive looking perennial which produces dangling dark violet to rust-red flowers on long hanging stems. Its toxicity derives from its high levels of tropane alkaloids, particularly atropine, which is concentrated especially in the root of the plant. S. carniolica resembles atopia belladonna in its appearance and toxins. S. carniolica is native to Europe, but found worldwide.
