what is the name of this plant in English?
it is poisonous for man but has medicinal use for animals on wounds
Wound Aid for Animals is yarrow, Achillea millefolium, harvested in full bloom, dried and powdered. It is liberally applied to open bleeding, oozing or otherwise raw wounds.
Buck Mountain
That doesn't look like Yarrow to me. Yarrow is a field plant growing on a stalk with wispy leaves.

definitely not yarrow/achillea
It isn't, as others said, achillea/yarrow. I had an achillea millefolium "lawn" in my parking strip in Los Angeles. I don't recognize the plant, right away.
crucifix - where does it grow? Looks like that plant might be at a field edge or a meadow (grassy wetland). What elevation? What part of europe? What's the flower look like?
Looks like a shrub in the rhododendron or kalmia family. Is it Asian?
good call, greenwitch - it does look kalmia-ish and kalmia is poisonous to sheep if they eat it.
This is Asian, growing in Indo-Burma region, the picutre was taken in Mizoram state of north eastern India. I have never seen it, it was taken by one of my friends from Mizoram. He said that this is a creeper, we dont know what its called in English or its botanical name
I think it could be a "Costus Speciosus"...

If we had a picture of the flower we could confirm that. I knew it wasn't North American.
Crucx.- you could send the picture to a botanical garden in India via email and I'm sure they could give you a better ID. With a postive ID you could research medicinal usage on the internet.

A creeper? Do we have to call the police?
