That's my thought too.

I was wondering where the name "lungbane" has come from? I have never heard of pulmonaria or lungwort referred to as lungbane. I'm interested in how and where plants get names from. When searched on GOOGLE the only reference to lung bane was in regards to lung cancer. Does anybody know?
