Althea: Thanks, I have the second article and will get the first soon.
I attached 2 illustrations from a small Golden Guide book that is rare
and out of print, authored by the late Richard Evans Schultes and
illustrated by Elmer Smith.
Aloha, Mark Merlin

Mark,
Henbane was originally found in a pot analysed by Brian Moffat, but the
results could not be repeated in later re-examination:
Long DJ, Tipping R, Holden TG, Bunting MJ, Milburn P 2000. The use of
henbane (Hyoscyamus niger L.) as a hallucinogen at Neolithic 'ritual'
sites:
a re-evaluation. ANTIQUITY 74 (283): 49-53 MAR 2000.
Long DJ, Milburn P, Bunting MJ, et al. 1999. Black henbane (Hyoscymaus
niger L.) in the Scottish Neolithic: A re-evaluation of palynological
findings from grooved ware pottery at Balfarg Riding School and Henge,
Fife.
J. ARCHAEOL SCI 26 (1): 45-52 JAN 1999
Negative evidence I know, but i hope this is useful
