Editing Poisonous & Restricted Flora Index (section)

= Poisonous & Restricted Flora Index =

This archive catalogs all dangerous, toxic, or magically volatile plants known to the Hogwarts staff, the Ministry of Magic, and St. Mungo’s.  
It is the sister-archive to both the:
* '''[[Potion Ingredient Compendium]]'''
* '''[[Hospital Wing Medicinal Plant Compendium]]'''

While some plants appear in both medicinal and toxic lists, their classification here reflects their **hazardous**, **venomous**, **volatile**, or **legally restricted** status.

''Students are not permitted to handle any plant in this Index without a Professor present.''
