My personal favorite is Wild buckwheat (polygonum convolvulus) - id by Dana Scott
I think that the root may represent camel going through eye of a needle - based on the story in the New Testament - it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God. Wild buckwheat was considered 'poor man's food'.
I also agree with Marco that the bryony is a good choice based on similarities with drawings in old herbals.
