What plant was believed to shriek when uprooted in the play romeo and Juliet?

In act IV Scene 3 when Juliet is trying to decide whether to take the knockout potion, she says, "And shrieks like mandrakes' torn out of the earth". The mandrake is a plant whose root is frequently in two parts so that it looks like legs, as some carrots are. The legends said that they would scream if uprooted and their screams would kill the uprooter. Shakespeare also refers to this legend in Henry VI Part II, and has Falstaff in Henry IV Part II call someone a mandrake because "When 'a was naked, he was for all the world like a fork'd radish, with a head fantastically carved upon it with a knife."
