Conium divaricatum

Conium divaricatum is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to Greece, including Crete.^[1] It was first described in 1856.^[2] The plant is phytochemically distinct from conium maculatum, and is considered a separate species. The Classical Greek philosopher Socrates is believed to have been executed with hemlock, though scholars are unsure whether it was c. maculatum or c. divaricatum.^[3]
