Hydrangea paniculata, commonly known as the panicled hydrangea, is a species of Hydrangea found in eastern China, Korea, Japan, and Sakhalin.[1] It was first formally described by Philipp Franz von Siebold in 1829.[2] It is sometimes smoked as an intoxicant, despite the danger of illness and/or death due to the cyanide[3] present as cyanogenic glycosides.[4]
