Comfrey is a robust hairy perennial, 60-90cm. high, with broad lanceolate leaves. Flowers are bell-like and may be white, cream, blue, mauve, purple or pink.
The habitat is widespread and common along river banks and streams.
"Symphytum" is derived from the Greek "sympho", to heal or unite, and alludes to the plant's use in medicine in the past in the treatment of healing bones.
Other names for comfrey are boneset, knitbone, blackwort and ass ear, the later from the shape of the leaves.
