Dreaded hogweed discovered in area. A huge plant that resembles the innocuous wild carrot, but causes nasty and painful rashes if brushed against, may be spreading to Canada from Britain, accordink to Canadian botanists. The giant hogweed - technically known • as Heracleum mantegazzianum - has been identified in Huron, Bruce and Grey counties and the Haliburton region. In Scotland, it has become much more than an occasional nuisance. It grows to heights of 4.5 tnetres (11.8 -feetr MI has sent Scottish villagers along the banks of the Tweed to hospital with painful sunburn - like rashes. The plant is also rampant in the Tyne, Mersey and Thames river areas. "In Scotland, the plant is a small rosette six inches (15 centimetres) high in April," according to Quentin McLaren, an official of the Scottish environmental agen- cy, the Borders Regional Council. "By the middle of Ju- ly it can be over 15 feet (4.5 metres). You can almost hear it growing." Matching the hogweed's size are its reproductive qualities. Each flower head produces about 5,000 seeds. Botanist Paul Cavers of the University of Western Ontario said Sunday. the plant was studied in Scotland by a former colleague, Lesley Lovett Doust, who spent two years as a post -doctoral fellow at Western in the late '70s. 1, During her stay in London, she spotted and collected some specimens of the plant from a roadside embankment near Clinton, he said. Cavers said the plant's head and fruit are similar to those of a cousin, the wild car- rot or Queen Anne's lace. Its leaves, though, are trilobate,. like large cloverleafs that ap- pear singly at intervals on the stem and it is much larger than the wild carrot. The plant is native to the Russian Caucasus but was imported to Britain in the 19th century as a striking or- namental plant for the formal gardens of great houses. The seed may have made its way across the Atlantic as • an impurity in other seed mixtures, Lavers suggested, or it may simply have hitch- hiked over in someone's clothing. Cavers said the plant can be considered poisonous in the sense that contact with it causesallergic reactions "and in extrema cases you can die from allergic reactions." Rick Wukasch, director of the University of Guelph's pest diagnostic and advisory clinic, said "a drop of the sap can cause dermatitis, " blisters, rash and discelora-- tion of the skin and the effects may last for months." In 1972 several children. from Black Creek, southof Niagara Falls, were treated for severe blisters and in 1978 a party of naturalists in the same area went to: hospital with flaming rashes. In some areas of Scotland, the weeds are so thick that strollers and fishermen can't get down to the river bank. It kills anything growing in its shade, leaving the soil bare when it dies in winter and liable to erosion. British scientists are trying to develop a herbicide that will destroy the giant, hogweed without eliminating other vegetation.
