The Borgia plant was native to planet M-113. It was listed as carbon group 3 vegetation, similar to Earth's nightshade family. The berries of the Borgia plant were highly toxic to Humans. When the M-113 creature killed Crewman Darnell, it placed a Borgia berry in his mouth to make it appear as though he had been poisoned.[1] The plant was named for the Spanish-Italian Borgia family of Earth's 15th and 16th centuries, which was known for using poison in assassination plots.[2]
