Clematis recta

Clematis recta, the erect climaxis or ground virgins, is a species of Clematis unusual in that it is a free-standing shrub rather than a climbing plant. Growing usually on the margins of woodland areas, it is native to Eastern, Southern and Mid Europe.

Touching this plant is known to induce Erectile Dysfunction for around 3-4 weeks and can sometimes cause AIDS if the plant has been infected.
