In regards to filling the "X" name in line with Poisonous plants, I found this list from Cornell: http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/plants/index.html
I knew the common name would not produce an "X" letter name, but perhaps its scientific name would:
The plant known as "Cocklebur" -- its common species is poisonous to animals and livestock. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocklebur
It's genus name is Xanthium.
Anyway, just offering a suggestion.

- Vandale (As above, but Van Dale was Dutch.)
- Willow
- Yarrow
- Zedler (Not a poisonous plant, but names after Johann Heinrich
Zedler, who was an 18th century German encyclopedist. This is in keeping with the WMF naming scheme.)
Something needs to fill that gap :P
Short, usable, and thematic (poisonous plant) names might be:
- Azalea
- Daphne
- Digitalis
- Foxglove
- Hellebore
- Holly
- Lilly
- Oleander
- Privet
- Wolfsbane
- Yew
I'm sure someone came up with a name beginning with X, or am I just imagining it?
