  Burdock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A large number of species have been placed in genus Arctium at one time or another, but most of them are now classified in the related genus Cousinia.
The precise limits between Arctium and Cousinia are hard to define; there is an exact correlation between their molecular phylogeny.
The burdocks are sometimes confused with the cockleburs (genus Xanthium) and rhubarb (genus Rheum).

 Paghat's Garden: Origanum vulgar 'Dr. Ietswaart'
But oregano's legacy is not entirely pure of heart, for it has also been used in herbal combinations to abort unwanted pregnancies, either eaten in great quantities or prepared as a tonic taken several times a day to induce miscarriage.
Piligan or Cola de quirquincho (Lycopodium saururus), parsley (Petroselinum hortense), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), celery (Apium graveolens), floripan (Datura arborea), sticky nightshade (Solanum sisymbriifolium), leopard's bane (Arnica montana), burdock/bardana root (Arctium lappa), & ruda or fringed rue (Ruta chalepensis/graveolens) are likewise used with surprising efficacy, for herbal abortants definitely do the trick.
Death as a side-effect of herb-induced abortion is especially associated with use of fringed rue, leopard's bane, Arctium, & with the South American herbal "remedy" Carachipita, though of course the latter's inclusion of oregano is not the ingredient that kills mothers.
