Hedysarum+Alpinum

Hedysarum Alpinum  Hedysarum alpinum is a type of plant. Above ground it grows purple flowers and seeds that if consumed in abundance can be poisonous. Under ground it grows potato like structures. Hedysarum alpinum was eaten by the Inuit to help ward off the effects of scurvy due to it being rich in Vitamin C. In the book Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer speculates that Chris McCandless died from eating seeds from Hedysarum alpinum which he believed contained swainsonine.
