Black walnut, Juglans nigra, is so close a relative to the European or English walnut, Juglans regia, that the herbalists often talk about, and use, them synonymously. Juglans nigra is native to North America and was used by Native Americans for food, wood and medicine. The green hull was sought after for its reputed medicinal virtues, but there is a warning in Grieve's description: 'The husk, shell and peel are sudorific, especially if used when the Walnuts are green. Whilst unripe, the nut has wormdestroying virtues.'
