BBC Birmingham - Review: Birmingham Botanical Gardens ()

  „Through another set of automatic doors and I was in the Sub Tropical House, which was much more comfortable, but no less interesting. The plants have no doubt been chosen for their interest (and all were labelled informatively) examples are the cotton plant (Gossypium hirsutum), Camellia sinensis - tea is made from the young shoots of these pants, cinnamon and amusingly the senna (cassia senna) which has been used for the past 5000 years as a laxative!“
