Comfrey is Symphytum spp. My Pacific NW flora lists S. officinale (common
c.) and S. asperum (rough c.). I have no idea what medicinal properties
are ascribed to it, but I've heard it's nice in tea.
Here's a picture of the Comfrey we have in our yard, although I don't
know what species it is: http://fortboise.org/tmp/Comfrey.jpg
That's a 12" ruler in there for scale. It likes the somewhat shady spot
it's in.
