Quaker comfrey

Symphytum officinale

Habitat:

Native to Europe and known elsewhere, including North America, as an introduced species and sometimes a weed.

Notes:

Comfrey has been used in folk medicine as a poultice for treating burns and wounds. However, internal consumption, such as in the form of herbal tea, is discouraged, as it has been highly debated about whether it can cause serious liver damage
